Trout fishing is pretty limited in Virginia right now. The streams are so low that the state is not stocking mostly lakes. That said, there are a few streams with enough water flow to sustain holdovers from last year. Here's three I have fished recently.
Read MoreBy Frank Meade One of the most convenient streams for Wintergreen Sporting Club members. The South River is spring fed which keeps temperatures relatively steady and makes for good fishing conditions year round.
Read MoreBy Frank Meade This is great trout water in an easily accessible, beautiful country/agricultural setting. Easy early morning drive from Wintergreen.
Read MoreBy Frank Meade Briery Creek Lake is a big time largemouth bass fishery with incredible structure. Multiple state records.
Read MoreBy Frank Meade The special regulated section of the Jackson River above Lake Moomaw in the Hidden Valley Recreation Area is a very special place for fly fishermen, especially those willing to walk 45 minutes or bike 15 minutes upstream to the special regulation area that starts above the swinging rope bridge.
Read MoreBy Frank Meade If you are all about catching fish, I would enjoy a nice paddle all the way to where the Piney meets the Tye. Fish that hole very hard. Drag some crank baits through the deep water retrieving upstream and hold on!!
Read MoreBy Mike Fisher The Rapidan River is a well known brook trout stream that has appeared in articles and books. It is fly fishing only with barbless hooks and is all catch and release. It has perhaps the largest brookies in the park (at least to 14 inches), but they are rarely seen or caught.
Read MoreBy Frank Meade I have fished this lake twice recently and drew several dozen strikes in the pads–but what is exciting is that some are not strikes but explosions.
