CAUTION - The landowners have a valid King's Grant and own the fish and land under the river. You are not allowed to fish in most areas of Jackson; however, fishing is permitted in Hidden Valley.
Jackson River Trout Fishing (Gathright Dam)
A great disappointment – this amounted to only about an eighth of a mile of interesting water – a total and complete waste of time.
Jackson River Trout Fishing (Hidden Valley – North)
Wide and Remote….We made the trek out to the Jackson River in August – was it worthwhile?
Jackson River Trout Fishing (Hidden Valley – South)
A real treasure, a pleasure to visit… this place is sweet!
Jackson River Trout Fishing (VA – Hidden Valley)
A long hike will put you on some good water on the Jackson… and no King’s Grant issues to worry about
Jackson River Trout Fishing (VA – Indian Gap)
Only a short stop at Indian Gap – enough to appreciate its potential
Jackson River Trout Fishing (VA – Petticoat Junction)
I did not spend much time here – just a quick check on conditions and access
Jackson River Trout Fishing (VA-Smith Bridge)
The parking area is wide and broad with two small paths leading to the river directly downstream of the bridge.
Muddy Run Trout Fishing (Off the Jackson)
Muddy Run joins the Jackson a bit before the start of the special regulation area. For those who like bushwacking, head on up!
