South River Fly Shop
Our local fly shop right in downtown Waynesboro. You can easily walk the 2 blocks from the Delayed Harvest waters of the South River to the shop at 323 West Main Street. Kevin Little and Tommy Lawhorne promise to make you welcome even if you drag yourself in with wet waders and muddy boots. They have a full selection of equipment, flies, and fly tying materials.
