Bass - Lake Pelham (VA)
Monday, September 08, 2008

This lake is a keeper - plenty of action!

Trout Hike - Gunpowder (MD - Glencoe Bridge Upstream)
Friday, September 05, 2008

The Gunpowder is still running crisp and cold this late in the summer

Smallies! Rapidan (VA - Confluence Upstream)
Wednesday, September 03, 2008

Another winning fishing expedition - the confluence is nothing but good piled on better

Smallies! Pamunkey River (VA - Rt 301 Downstream)
Monday, September 01, 2008

The downstream section of the Pamunkey looks a bit better than the upstream section.

Smallies! Upper Potomac (MD - Seneca Launch)
Friday, August 29, 2008

Running the canoe out of the Seneca Launch is not as scary as Lake Anna or Smith Mountain, but the water is just as big.

Smallies! Pamunkey River (VA - Rt 301 Upstream)
Wednesday, August 27, 2008

The Pamunkey jolted us within 10 minutes of our arrival.

Bull Run Creek is at the edge of Manassas at the upper reaches of the Occoquan Water Trail

Smallies!  Rappahannock (VA - Confluence Downstream)

The confluence opens a few miles of good fishing

Monday, August 18, 2008

The North Anna River is surprisingly good for smallies

Smallies! Upper Potomac (WV - Antietam Creek)
Friday, August 15, 2008

Bass - Smith Mountain Lake (VA - State Park launch)
Wednesday, August 13, 2008

Smith Mountain Lake is far too big for the Basscanoe at the state park launch ramp.  I ducked into the side channels.

Smallies! Maury River (VA - Upper Section)
Monday, August 11, 2008

The Maury just looks too good.  I had to stop here and fish.

Smallies! Upper Potomac (MD/VA - Point of Rocks Upstream)
Friday, August 08, 2008

You can wade upstream for a mile from the canoe access point

Trout Hike - East Branch Antietam Creek (PA - Waynesboro)
Wednesday, August 06, 2008

This is the equivalent of driving 2 hours to fish Accotink Creek.  Why bother?

Smallies!  SF Shenandoah (VA - Guest State Park Upstream)
Monday, August 04, 2008

The Shenandoah is back!  It's been 3 years since the major kill and the smallies are hungry.
