Discover the James is a small business and has the following instructional guides:

• Capt. Mike Ostrander
• Scott Williams

The photo's stories?  To the left:  Dr. Fly, guide Anderw Campbell was a Discover the James favorite, but now, Dr. Fly has moved on and working as a guide in North Carolina. Here, Dr. Fly poses with a young fishemen just below Williams Dam. Today, the two current guides remain Capt. Mike and Billy Nicar. Billy has been working this area of the river for over ten years now, and knows all the holes, nooks and crannies.
