We’ve had some mixed reports from the Virginias lately as well, it seems as though there are lots of smaller fish being caught up there, fish that are in the 6 to 12 inch range, these fish are likely natural fish, there has also been a few larger rainbows caught but they seem to be fairly shy right now. Some of the successful anglers have been using pinched crawlers, mice tails and night crawlers. We haven’t talked to very many fly anglers lately but stripping leeches with soft hackle droppers off of intermediate sink lines should give you decent odds at some fish, also often this time of the year fishing beetles and griffiths gnat patterns on the surface can do well, especially in the late evenings.
