Welcome to Playing Hookie Guide Service, 2006 marks my 7th year as a smallmouth and carp guide.  I enjoyed a very full 9.5 month season in 2005 despite the loss of the entire Shenandoah Fishery.  As a result of that loss, as many of you witnessed, I had to spend every waking hour traveling and guiding. So This year I have accepted the assignment of creating a Shenandoah Riverkeeper program at the behest of Ed Merrifield the Potomac Riverkeeper.    I will keep a shortened guide schedule of about two months, and anticipate working tirelessly the other ten to turn around the decline of the beautiful Shenandoah River.  If you love the Shenandoah please take the time to email or call me, whether you just want to chat and make suggestions, or if you would like to be included in my email list so I can tell you what I'm doing.  If you still want to fish, please call and I can make arrangements for floats.  Jeff Kelble (540) 837-1478  jeff@fishinginvirginia.net  and jeff@potomacriverkeeper.org
