Bassin' - Sandy River Reservoir (VA)

Pathetic end of season location ..... bad advice brought me here on June 13.

Thursday, July 17, 2008

The Robinson River is "tight" here - creating deeper water for smallies

Bass - Lake Orange (VA)
Wednesday, July 16, 2008

It's worth the small cost of the permit to fish Lake Orange - sweet lake!

Bass - Beaverdam Creek Reservoir (VA - lower half)
Monday, July 14, 2008

Smallies! Potomac (VA - Riverbend)
Wednesday, June 25, 2008

No real wading opportunity near the boat launch, but its a great area to attack from a canoe

Bass - Range 6 Pond (VA - Quantico MCB)
Monday, June 23, 2008

The Range 6 Pond is a small jewel tucked into the southern part of the Quantico Marine Corps Base

Trout Hike - SF Holston (VA - Buller Dam)
Friday, June 20, 2008

The SF of the Holston up by Buller Dam was a washout on the day I was there.

Smallies! South Branch of the Potomac (WV)

The South Branch has miles and miles of great looking water!  The agony is, "Where to start?"

They stock at the Riffle Ford Road access point, but I came up dry when I fished it in March.

Trout Hike - Skidmore Fork of the Dry River (VA - Upper)
Wednesday, June 04, 2008

It's a long hike that leads to a short, pleasant meadow stream under the dam
