Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Homestead Resort

The upper and lower Jackson are nearby, but running high for now. If the flows drop below 600, you can wade below the dam and at a few of the boat ramps just downstream.   Here are two pages for flows in that area.   Back Creek is another option too.

When are you going?   Right now the water is high in that area and the best bet is mountain streams for brookies.  

The James and its tributaries are running high.   Lower part of the Jackson is controlled by Gathright Dam and generally clears up quicker.   Getting a guide for a day would probably be worthwhile

I have; I can recommend a colorful character named Jason in the area who can guide on private water on the Jackson River. Big, beautiful rainbows and brownies. Email me offline if you're interested.

By the way: "[Landowners] claim to possess a Crown Grant—a deed to the land (and environs) issued by King George III of Great Britain in 1743—which [landowners] suggest supersedes state ownership because their land was conveyed prior to a law passed by the Virginia legislature in the 1800s that conveyed all river bottoms to the state that were not already privately owned. Part of the basis for their claim is the Virginia Supreme Court's 1996 Kraft v Burr decision, which barred anglers from touching bottom or fishing in the Jackson River from just below Gathright Dam to Johnson Springs because the owners of that section possessed a Crown Grant to the property..."
