SNP Status

[James Fletcher]

First time to post here, always enjoyed the depth of knowledge on SNP streams found on these threads, though. 

I'm planning on heading out the Eastern side of the Blue Ridge this weekend to catch up on trout fishing (work has kept me in isolation most of the Fall). 

First time looking for trout on this side of the SNP - any advice on what to expect, tips on where to go, what to use, etc?

I was thinking of tackling the Hughes, Rapidan, or Conway. How well are these waters doing at this point in the season regarding water levels and fish activity?

Here's a recent thread. Expect LOW flows even after today's rain. Steepest streams will be holding the most water.

Thanks for the direction, very much appreciated!

Looks like the Rapidan will receive a visit, then the Rose. Fingers crossed for taut lines - will let y'all know how it goes.

Looks like the park has already gotten about an inch of rain the past two days - I take back my comment about low flows. Should be pretty decent actually, good luck. If you read through that other thread I'd say another key is look for sunlit areas.

Yeah, I think the recent rains put in just enough. I talked with Murray's fly shop today who said the SNP waters are pretty cold, but letting them warm up until mid-morning should improve activity. 

I might also try Big Stoney - anyone familiar with that water? Believe it was stocked up back on 10/11

Will let you know how it goes!
