At the Virginia Outdoorsman we not only offer the largest selection of fishing and tournament tackle in Southwest Virginia, we offer expert assistance with the selection and use of all our products to everyone, novice to professional. We are licensed USCG Captains who operate Charterboat Guide Services on Smith Mountain Lake and take great pride in our ability to equip our customers with the knowledge, the tackle and the equipment needed to successfully catch fish in Smith Mountain Lake as well as in surrounding rivers, streams and ponds.

Whether you are just learning how to fish, have some fishing experience and want to learn how to adapt it to the surrounding waters or are a tournament bass or striper angler looking for that special bait or tackle you have come to the right place.

In fishing, a positive attitude, confidence and a even little luck certainly help, but without good information about the fishery, about where the fish are located, what they are doing, what baits they are hitting and how to present those baits effectively...it takes a lot of luck to be successful. We have the information and the equipment (rods, reels, terminal tackle, lures and live bait) needed to catch fish in Southwest Virginia. We also carry a full line of supporting equipment and marine supplies that include tournament supplies, cast nets, bait tanks, fish sustaining chemicals, sunglasses, life preservers, bilge pumps and more.
