Real Estate Today: A Wintergreen Membership! Are you interested in a Wintergreen Club Membership but don’t own resort property? I have a 1/3 interest in a building lot for sale that includes a WTG Club Membership for under $30K. That’s a huge savings and a way to acquire a Club Membership. (Club Members have to own property in WTG Resort)

Read my Blue Ridge Parkway blog at http://ExperienceBlueRidgeParkway.blogspot.com We are back from our End-2-End Blue Ridge Parkway vacation, and I will be posting more photos and stories over the next week. We highly suggest this vacation.

Wintergreen Resort’s Fly Fishing Program

Wintergreen Resort has partnered with Orvis for fly-fishing instruction and guided tours.

Wintergreen’s own Lake Monocan provides the perfect environment for beginner fly-fishing classes. Learn the art of fly-fishing from the pros of Orvis and then head out on a guided tour of Nelson’s streams and rivers, including the James River.

Wintergreen offers half and full day fly fishing classes under the watchful eye of an Orvis-Endorsed instructor. (note that you need to make a class reservation at least 48 hours in advance) Fly-casting instruction is based on The Orvis Progressive Method to Fly Casting and inexperienced to expert casters are welcome. All instruction includes the use of Orvis fly rods and equipment, and all classes are held at the facilities at Lake Monocan and on the private ponds surrounding Stoney Creek.

Wintergreen also offers both half and full day guided trout fishing trips. Take a guided trout fishing tour either within Wintergreen Resort or to many of the county streams and rivers. Or, arrange for a special float trip down the James River in eastern Nelson County. All need a reservation 48 hours in advance. For information, call 434-325-8181.
