One of my favorite places to fly fish in the Mid-Atlantic is the Shenandoah River in Virginia. The Shenandoah is a beautiful river, with clear water and plenty of fish. I've caught trout, bass, and even muskies in the Shenandoah.

Another great place to fly fish in the Mid-Atlantic is the Chesapeake Bay. The Bay is home to a wide variety of fish, including striped bass, bluefish, and flounder. I've had some of my best fishing experiences in the Chesapeake Bay.
