Last Chance Outfitters
Talcott, West Virginia
Phone: 304-774-0883

No other outfitter guides as much of the New and Greenbrier rivers as Last Chance Outfitters. We've been fishing these waters for more than 40 years and know precisely where the fish are biting. Catch beautiful bronzebacks as well as rock bass, bluegill, muskie, or walleye. The majestic Greenbrier River is great for light tackle or fly fishing and can be safely waded in warm months. The swift New River pose a greater challenge, but for those who want to go the extra mile for a citation, it's the destination of choice. We provide all the transportation from your place of lodging, though guests have the option to stay in our modern cabin with 300 feet of private frontage on the Greenbrier River. The river is calm at the cabins, only five feet deep, allowing for easy wading. Last Chance also guides hunting expeditions for elk and wild turkey.
