Roanoke, Virginia Project
Fly fishing either alone or with a companion, allows an individual to be outside and enjoy the beauty of nature, experience peace and calm, and offers a unique challenge “in the moment” each and every time. This is what I believe the Mayfly Project offers everyone that is involved and participating.

Scott Barrier, Lead Mentor
Bent Mountain, Virginia
Scott is a Virginia native and has been fly-fishing for 40 years and currently resides in Bent Mountain, VA. He has been fortunate to fish much of South West Virginia, the Rocky Mountain West and Alaska over those many years. He is currently involved with Project Healing Waters for Veterans as a guide and SW Virginia Deputy Regional Program Coordinator. He has raised 4 children and currently enjoys 5 grandchildren teaching each of them to fish, enjoy and respect nature. He is very passionate about passing on his love for the outdoors and fishing. Scott looks forward to sharing those passions with young people in his role as lead mentor for the Roanoke Virginia Mayfly Project.
