Sachem’s Pass On Buffalo Creek

Welcome to Sachem’s Pass on Buffalo Creek.

This gem of a river located in Rockbridge County Virginia and has a well-found hold on “best days ever” on a trout stream!

Buffalo Creek is one of Sachem’s Pass largest properties/rivers. Within the mile and half of club water you will find rainbow, brook, and brown trout throughout. Rainbows are the most often caught species however, a few lucky or very hard working members have landed some very impressive browns and brookies.

Buffalo Creek is one of the most prevalent spring-fed, freestone fisheries in central Virginia. The multifaceted structure and flows, not to mention the many pools, alternating in color from deep blue to pale aqua. A calming sight as you continue to process your environment.

There are two parking areas for members. One gated/fenced location off the main entrance road about a third of the way down the river that provides easy access to the top half of the property. Another parking area is located near the camping area at the lower boundary of the property. River access, in most areas, is accessible by a well-worn path that will take you to the river’s edge. Once there, you will find continuous riffles, pools, ledges, and eddies that hold big browns, rainbows, and of course colorful “brookies”! Buffalo Creek provides many opportunities and challenges from the novice to the most advanced anglers. We are eager to share our most recently acquired private water and soon you will see for yourself just how breathtaking it is!

Sachem’s on Buffalo Creek is limited to 6 members per day.
