{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Shenandoah trout fishing this season

If you're heading out to fish SNP streams for brookies on a day you're worried about high water, consider driving and parking along Skyline drive, and hiking down to the headwater area of nice creeks (of which there are hundreds), instead of fishing up from the bottom in otherwise awesome stretches. The streams naturally are less flooded up there and clear up even quicker. A lot of trails are well marked and some not so much; I'd bring a map/compass or GPS to avoid getting turned around if you're really going to go "blue lining" in the woods. But you don't need to bushwhack to find nice little streams there. I'm sure Park service would help and I highly recommend Harry Murray's book, Trout Fishing in the Shenandoah National Park. It's a classic and has lots of good recommendations. I wish I was going with you! Tight lines. Matt
