That's actually pretty solid. 72 is good wet wading temp so maybe that will be our play this weekend.

The USGS does not track water temp on th South Fork of the Shenendoah, but water levels are not high. Just as a reference point, the USGS reports that the water temps on the Rappahannick in Fredericksburg is between 72 and 74 degrees.On Fri, May 29, 2020, 9:51 AM BigtimeBG <bpg...@gmail.com> wrote:That's bonkers! I can't deal with that. Maybe we'll run down to the South Fork and try for some smallies... I wonder if the water temp is up enough to do any good right now. Doesn't help my wife's waders are shot so she needs a new pair!--Man I miss fishing in central PA sometimes. I grew up on Penns Creek and my dad/brother are killing big browns up there right now... with no crazy 80 person pressure stuff.

However, results have been less than satisfactory. Perhaps because of the pandemic, 4MR has seen enormous pressure. Several Saturdays ago, I counted around 80 people fishing at a single time, all up and down its banks. Many were also keeping what they caught - catfish, bass, bluegill. Everything I've caught has been very small. Even seeing something catchable has proven rare.

We walked along the shore and just used spinning rods (weren't sure what we were getting into with back casting space, etc.) with crayfish and perch rapalas. We probably caught 15 fish in 4ish hours... everything was under 12 inches with the majority being largemouth and a few larger perch with one sunnie tossed in there. I saw a lot of people catfishing and one guy said he regularly catches some in the 30+ inch range.I was curious if anyone ever catches more sizable largemouths or other fish in there (besides the catfish). It was a pretty nice day and despite there being a lot of trash, it was a fun day for us. Just curious if there are bigger bass in there or if your experience was similar to mine.Also side note... anyone hit up 4MR lately? Thinking about swinging by some evening this week.
