Our goal is to provide the ultimate trophy trout fishing experience for both new and experienced fisherman and fisherwomen. Copper Hill Troutfitters is one of Southwestern Virginia’s best kept secrets for consistently landing trophy trout. Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Floyd County Virginia is our 4 acre lake stocked with trophy trout. From October-May we focus on trout because they are a
cold water/weather species that are plentiful and some are massive. During the summer months, other types of fishing can be enjoyed. Purchased in 2020, Copper Hill Troutfitters continues to grow and has quickly become one of Southwest Virginia’s premier trout fisheries. Degree in Wildlife & Fisheries Science from the University of Tennessee, has taken his passion for the outdoors and turned Copper Hill Troutfitters lake into a thriving trout fishery that not only benefits the environment, but also the enjoyment of anglers both young and old in the region and well beyond.
