{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Shenandoah Trout Spawn

Hard to think of a sport more directly tied into conservation than fly fishing......

On another note, don't hate on trout.... smallies and largemouth are also non-native to the region (smiley face)

I was looking forward to heading to Shenandoah to fish some of the trout streams this coming weekend.  I am new to trout fishing on the fly and have been searching the internet for as much information I can find on where and what to fish. In doing that I came to a fishing report for Murry's Fly shop that suggested not fishing from Now to the end of Nov due to the trout spawning.  After looking into the brook trout spawn further I found some other sources suggesting it is typically Late Oct. through the end of Nov.  I don't want to cause any stress to the fish that may cause a problem with them spawning.  So I wanted to see if anyone had suggestions as to if it is alright to fish at this time, or if I would be pushing the envelope and better off waiting till the spawn is over. 

If that is the case any suggestions on some other VA stocked trout waters I may want to give a shot.  I have been trying to look on the DGIF site to figure out what locations are currently stocked, but it doesn't look like any place within a 2 hour drive from the beltway.  I would appreciate any suggestions.  If all else fails I might just go try and chase some smallies.
