My latest scribbles for VA DWR’s fishing blog…while written for anglers broadly, there just may be something new in here for some members of the group…

Nice article, Pete.  Would love to get you to author a guest post to The Trout Bandit blog.  If you are interested and have any ideas, please let me know.  Gregg

Thanks, Gregg, for the note! 

Glad you liked the article. Sorry for the delay as I’m out in N. Idaho to visit family—and, fish, of course. 

The fishing Gods smiled upon me yesterday and I boated 20+ cutthroat on dries and hopper/droppers on a 1/2-day float; several were in the 16-plus inch range. A good crane fly hatch helped. 

Even caught a Virginia-sized brookie in the river, but the colors weren’t nearly as vivid as ours back home.  

Happy to talk about scribbling something for you when I get back. I’ll be in touch. 

Best,

Pete
