Hazel River/North Fork Thornton River or others around Sperryville

[Nick W]

Hey Folks,

Long time lurker first time poster. I am going to a wedding party in Sperryville, VA and was planning on getting up early and hitting the Hazel or the N Fork of the Thornton. Any tips or advice for fishing on either of these two rivers? Are there any other spots worth considering?

Thanks,
Nick

I've had good luck on the Hazel.  The parking is limited with only room for about 2 cars.  It's also kind of hard to figure out where to park on your first visit.  However, I think the limited parking leads to less fishing pressure than some of the other rivers in the area.  I've never fished the N. Fork of the Thornton.

I was in Sperryville a few weeks ago for the exact same reason. I didn't have much time to fish so I just fished the Thornton River (not the N Fork) for about an hour where it goes through SNP. The water was incredibly low, but I did find one hole where I caught 3 brookies (two under 6" and one around 8"). It's easily accessible, but I'd only go back there again if I only had an hour or less to fish.

On the topic of SNP streams.  I am planning to come back to my parents house in northern VA next weekend (the 10th)  to fish the Rapidan and other SNP streams.  Do you guys suspect them to be blown out from this hurricane rain? 

Thanks,

They drop so fast that I wouldn't worry about it yet.  Next week is supposed to be pretty nice last time I checked, so they should be fine.

What he said ^.  In another week or so, I think the SNP is the most beautiful and enjoyable place to fish - period.
