Sam Scott from Blueridge Musky is an absolute professional. Brought a couple buddies with me on a fishing trip for my 40th birthday and this company did not disappoint! They have expert knowledge of the river, and the fish and they have everything you need to have a successful fishing trip. Scott put us on the musky’s and it was incredible experience. We’re already looking at dates for our next trip!!

Best guide I've had the pleasure of fishing with hands down best in VA

With weather being what it is water conditions were a bit murky and they released water off the dam raising levels and adding more dirt to the water. Sam worked hard to put us on fish and was extremely patient with us. Neither my son nor me had ever used a bait caster set up before. We spent a portion of our morning getting dialed in on that and he put my 11 year old on two fish! Not only did we have that time together but thanks to Sam and his hard work he sparked a love for fishing that my son didn’t have. We will be going back!

Excellent education in prope musky fishing techniques. Friend caught a citation musky

I gave this trip to 3 generations of Bobs, ages 13 to 75. It was probably the best Christmas gift I’ve ever given them. The best thing is 13 year old Bobby caught a 43” musky, wow such excitement!!! Scott was an amazing, fun and very informative guide. They felt like they not only had so much fun but learned a lot!!! All of them are hoping to get this gift again next Christmas. Thanks Sam for an incredible day and sending my Bobs home with lots of smiles and fun stories…….

Sam Scott provided an enjoyable fishing experience. He worked hard to make this a trip we would always remember.

Great experience! We had a great day of smallmouth fishing. Sam is extremely knowledgeable and very helpful and professional.

Sam has the knowledge and equipment to put you on the fish in the James River

Great guides. They work really hard to make sure you have a great experience. Thanks again Brad and Sam.

Excellent

Sam is a super knowledgeable guide, capable of tailoring his experience to the skills of the angler. Boat is clean, well maintained and has everything you would need if you forgot your own gear. Musky fishing is always a dice roll, but Sam had me on fish the entire trip. Next time we will boat the big mama!

Sam did an amazing job! He did everything in his power for us to see and catch fish! I would highly recommend and I will be planning on another trip! 👍

I fished with Brad for 3 days. Great experience, great guy. Brad really knows the water well. I look forward to getting back up there and fishing again with Brad.

Great trip, everything was as described. Full day with many opportunities for fish. Guide was very knowledgeable and willing to share information about muskies. Will be back!

Excellent is the word to describe my trip! Brad did a great job guiding us and knew the river and fish well. And knew how to have fun just the same. Sam was super friendly and professional along with Brad. Damn sure want to come back and would recommend it to someone wanting to experience some fun fishing. We caught a beautiful musky and saw more. Brad knew what he was talking about!

Capt Sam and I had a great couple of days on the water. Put me through Musky 101 both on the Fly and with bait casters. Having fished many places around the world this was a first. In tough conditions he found plenty of fish. 44” of Musky was my first and personal best. Highly recommend a trip, he is well equipped and has a unique Rock Proof Jet Boat. I’m back in June!

Sam Scott is an amazing guide and an extremely patient instructor who puts his clients on the fish that they want to catch. It’s the second time I’ve caught muskys with Sam and each and every time I learn more and more. Blue Ridge Musky Rocks!

What an unbelievable day on the water with Sam. The knowledge, equipment and overall experience was outstanding. Boated 2 fish over 45” and a 3rd pushing 40”. Sam has an unbelievable understanding of the fish and will put you on the fish of a lifetime. I will be looking forward to our next trip out.

Listen, in my experience, there are two types of fishing guides. There are haphazard dirtbag fish bums that scrape by for the lifestyle and there are career minded meticulous polished professionals like Sam Scott. Thank you for a memorable day on the water, we’ll be in touch!

If you want to fish for musky or smallmouth, Blue Ridge Musky is who you need to be fishing with!

Sam is an incredible guide who knows how to put you in front of some incredible fish. If you can keep composure when the moment comes, you’re sure to have an incredible time! Can’t recommend Blue Ridge Musky enough! 10/10!

Sam is first class. I have gone on the smallmouth trip with him for the last three years and every single year we have put a 5lb smallmouth in the boat. He helped me with a lifetime goal of my first 6lb smallmouth! I will be booking a trip with him every year, as long as I am able. A true professional.

Blue Ridge Musky (Sam) is an amazing guide that not only knows his fishery, but truly cares about it, the fish and the overall health of the James River. He works with the Virginia DWR to help track and monitor the health of the musky and the river. This is something rare in today’s world, especially when it comes to fishing for these amazing creatures. Sam is a consummate professional, he is meticulous in his planning and preparation for each day, scouring the data and conditions to get you, the client the best possible opportunity to get on fish. Keep in mind the fish get to vote, as does the weather, so there are never any guarantees. But Blue Ridge Musky takes care of a lot of the variables. Can’t recommend them highly enough. I will be back again for a round three and beyond.

Incredible day on the water with Jaime! The scenery was incredible and i have already booked another trip! Sam and Jaime will do everything in their power to make sure you have an experience of a lifetime! Their knowledge and passion for the musky fishery is second to none! Thanks guys!
