The ice on the Virginias is breaking up fast, at this time there’s plenty of open water to fish and we’ve been getting some decent reports of some nice brookies and smaller rainbows being caught from the shore up there. Power bait, mice tails and crawlers habe been producing some fish as well as Kastmasters and Thomas Bouyants. There are some “ iceburgs” floating around the lakes but I’d expect them to be gone within a day or two.
