The James and Shenandoah Rivers This is about the best clarity we found last week and it won’t improve much in the near future. High stained water can be a blessing in disguise as it gives you access to large fish that aren’t nearly as spooky. Well, August was a bust. What a shame to lose most of one of our favorite fishing months of the year. The Shenandoah was clean enough to fish about 6-7 days last month. We can only hope rains this week will end and we can dry out a bit for September and end the seas ..read more
