Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Smallies on the Rapidan River? Also brief SNP Fishing Report

Danny - You have spent a dizzying amount of time fishing in a hell of a lot of places.  

I've concluded that you are either a 400-year-old vampire, or you skipped history class in every grade. 

No worries though, I've pieced much of it together from oatmeal packets.  We landed on the moon, Napoleon was defeated at Waterloo, and those are both chronological.  There hasn't been much since. 

If the former is true, no one share a boat with Danny!

Use to fish the Rapidan for smallies semi-often.  I always just fished right at the confluence.  I maybe fished a half mile in all directions of the confluence.  Haven't been down there in 2 years.  Use to be a lot of eager to eat 12" smallies.

Thanks,

Hey all,

Does anyone have any experience going after smallmouth bass on the lower Rapidan River? I'm curious how far upstream from the confluence with the Rappahannock River one can reasonably fish for smallies.

Also: I explored a couple brook trout streams in SNP last weekend, but didn't fish much. I tested the water temperature in several places. It was consistently between 65-66 degrees and for the most part, the trout were all huddled together at the bottom of every deep pool, moving as little as possible. The rain earlier this week may have cooled things off enough, but I think it's still too warm for trout, in VA at least.
