I second what Sean said! Smallie fishing has been epic the last 8-12 weeks at Harpers Ferry for those of use who actually visit and fish it. Even in the low and slow water of the lower staircase, where the Shenandoah meets the Potomac, fish were actively feeding! We boated over 40 smallies last week, most were 15-16" with the biggest measuring 20". We had similar #s on a float 6 weeks ago and about 20 fish 4 weeks ago after the cold front.
Ditto on Travis Edens, few know this stretch of water better than him.
