When: Saturday July16th 2:00 pm
Where: Red Dragon Brewery
Address: 1419 Princess Anne St, Fredericksburg, VA 22401
We will meet at Red Dragon Brewery for a beer and some tacos (there should be a taco truck at the Red Dragon on Saturday 16th in the afternoon )Then head out to Rappahannock River to fish the area between the route 1 bridge and I95 bridge. The primary game fish species in this stretch of the Rappahannock is smallmouth bass, additionally there are largemouth bass, snakehead, carp, catfish, and panfish.
A few things about wading : First of all parts of the river bottom in this stretch of the Rappahannock are rocky, steep sloping and deep. Highly recommend wearing cleated wading shoes and having a wading staff. Since it will be literally the middle of summer. You may want to wet wade, in just a pair of shorts instead of using a pair waders. So if you fall in, is it to easer to recover. Also if there is heavy precipitation in the area or upstream in the watershed. The river could rise to a dangerous level quickly. Bottom line is wading can be potentially dangerous. So at your own risk.
A few suggestions for flies : Woolly Buggers, Clouser Minnows, CK Baitfish, Kreelex, Clawdad, Poppers, Gurglers any other bait fish or crayfish imitations. This by no means is a comprehensive list.
A few other things you may want to have with you : Headlamp, First Aid Kit , change of dry clothes in your car.
If there is a high amount of precipitation in the days or week before the trip. In river level is high and/or high turbidity level. This trip may wind up being rescheduled. If that happens future date TBA.
For more information about Rappahannock River see the VA site.
Look forward to seeing you all there!
