The spring creek that flows under highway 15 just north of Leesburg has had a lot of restoration work done on the upper stretch, a project half-dozen or so years ago of the NOVA chapter of TU. The work was sponsored by the land owner who lived in the large home adjacent to the vineyard and was supported by the state in the interest of preserving the habitat for the wild rainbows that apparently have been there many years. TU members had limited access to this upper area in exchange for the work, but the person who negotiated this for TU died a couple of years ago and the agreement ended. I have also heard that the landowner sold and has moved.
While I personally never fished it, I did help many times with the restoration work and saw fish. Others who fished it reported that the stream yielded rainbows in the 12-inch range.
