Recommended Flies: The big bass are feeding on big minnows and using a Murray's Tungsten Cone Head Marauder in either black, olive, or pearl in size 4 will be productive. Fish these flies in the deep slow water. You might need to use your sink tip III line and sinking leader 2X leader.
Stream Conditions:
The North Fork of the Shenandoah River is clear and fishable. Downstream from access #3, #4, or #5 on the North Fork have been doing well. Wade slow and fish deeply.
The South Fork of the Shenandoah River is clear and fishable. Downstream from access #13 (Foster's Landing) has been productive. For all public access, check out our marked map in the fly shop.
