Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: First time to SNP - Suggestions?

The Rapidan is only a 2 mile hike down from the Meadow. Its the most upstream section by Hoovers house. Its a great history trip and fishing.

Ryan,

Harry Murray's book is a good idea, as is Harry Slone's Trout Streams of Virginia, which has a pretty good section on Shenandoah National Park. Another, even better idea is to go pick up a map of SNP at REI or another outdoor store and look for the blue lines. Every one of these creeks is accessible by foot from Skyline Drive and nearly all should have fish; just pick one that is trail accessible, near your campground and give it a go. For flies, I would pick up some size 14 and 16 dries (maybe some Mr. Rapidans, Orange Stimulators, Klinkhammers, etc), you won't need to match the hatch. Have fun, this is one of my favorite places to fish, especially this time of year.

I'll be heading up to Shenandoah National Park this weekend to camp at Big Meadows Campground. I'm planning to chase some Brookies while I'm there... my first time fishing in the park. Does anyone know anything about the streams in this area of the park? I'll have my 4wt, and I'm willing to hike down the mountain if necessary. But, I'd love to find a stream that is accessible by foot from Skyline Drive.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Ryan
