James and Shenandoah River

We are back out on the Shenandoah and James every day. The fishing has been great. Watch out for afternoon thunderstorms as we have been getting wet most days. Stock up on your CK Baitfish, Clawdads, and topwater flies and hit the river!

The brook trout fishing is on fire right now! Take your favorite attractor dry flies up into the mountains and have a ball! Dry dropper rigs, small streamers, split shot, indicators, and plenty of floatant will be important to have along.
