RE: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Rapdian Access

“It has native brown and brook trout.“

 

Reigniting the native/wild argument:

 

·         A wild fish is a fish that was born in the wild and spends its life cycle in the wild, regardless of the origin of its parents or ancestors.

·         A native fish is a fish that was found here originally, prior to human influences.

 

A wild brown trout is not native to Virginia.  A brook trout in Accotink Creek is a native Virginia trout (even if it came from a hatchery).  A brook trout born in the Conway is a wild, native trout.

If you are heading down towards the Madison area, look up a stream called the Conway.  It has native brown and brook trout.  It isn't fished as heavily as the Rapidan and it has good access in most areas (you can definitely get a car there).  That is one of my favorite trout streams because of the brown trout in it.

Hey fellas,

 

I've been itching for more trout in my weekends than the few times I've made it down to the Jackson and Holston this year. I've been looking at the Rapidan on here and it seems like a good bet when the air temp rises a bit. Can anyone give me a bit of direction on how to best access the good-fishing portions? Is there a mile marker I should lookout for on Skyline, or I access it from the east side/bottom? Also, if I do go in from the WMA side, will my Prius make it in there, or should I take the truck? Obviously, I prefer the Prius for cost-effectiveness. 

 

Thanks!
