{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Trout Fishing the Jackson

Hey Mike,

I've had a handful of trips down there. Use this link provided by DGIF to view the access points for the section below Lake Moomaw. I have found that the Private Property is pretty well marked and all the access points have maps of the areas to avoid.

With this section being a tailwater it fishes year round. Hatches are pretty limited so i wouldn't worry too much about dry fly fishing. I have had most success wading below the dam using zebra midges, rainbow warriors, and other jig style nymphs with a tight-line (Euro setup). There is also an upper section that I believe has less of a private property issue. This section also receives regular stocking of hatchery fish.

Hope this helps.

I would like to know where on the Jackson on can go wading or kayak/wade trout fishing this spring without getting into a conflict with land owners.

If anyone is planning a trip and open to inviting others, please let me know.  I am also interested in Mosey Creek and the Rapidan.

Any suggestions?

Mike
