Richmond Fishing Guide is run by Navy veteran and VCU School of Engineering alum Wyatt Peake. Wyatt grew up fishing in Caroline County, just north of Richmond, VA, and dove head-first into smallmouth bass fishing on The James River and nearby tributaries when he left the Navy and settled in Richmond 10+ years ago. In the meantime, he’s waded, kayaked, and rafted every corner of local freshwater honing his skills, knowledge, and love of The James.

Wyatt and his crew of fish-obsessed friends believe every day on the water should feel like a celebration. From sunrise casts to sunset stories, they chase trophy bass, feisty striper, and everything in between—always with a big grin and a high-five.
