Carlos let me know when you get back and come on out and we will hit the river and anyone else who is interested.

Interested, Interested, Interested...:lol: yea, me yelling and just another Doctor this afternoon. I just talked to a friend who I haven't talked to for a bit and we were talking about fishing the upper Potomac or the Shenandoah in his Jet boat. Would be fun!

 

[Bill Hutchison]

Uncle Billy just let me know when you have the time you and your friend are more than welcome. There is a boat ramp in Front Royal by the bridge you can get a small boat in there is about a 3 mile area you can fish with some water 20 ft. on the 27th of this month I'm going to go in at Goonie creek and waid back to the house about 3 miles easly catch 50+ smallies

We will have to get together. I will bring Carlos out. KB might even make the trip. Meshing schedules is the toughest thing. We'll gir'-r'- dun.

How is access to the river, in general?



What is someone's ability to simply 'fish from the bank', as my wife and I will be in VA for a week, and I'm not familar with the area.



Thanks.

If you go to the Shenandoah National Park off of Rt340 they have about 1/2 of a mile bank to fish but there is plenty of water to waid and fish as well. There are alot of small state ramps along both the north and south fork where you can gain assess as well. look on the internet for Shenendoah River trips they have maps and stuff. you can get a canoe or a tube and do a float and fish that way as well.
