Unofficial Outing on the Rappahannock River
When Sunday April 17th 11:00am
Where Old Mill Park, 2201 Caroline St
Fredericksburg VA. 22401
Kind of a free form fishing day
Meeting at Old Mill Park in the larger parking lot. First going to the Mason-Dixon diner to grab lunch. Then go fishing for as long or as short of a time as you want.
The primary target fish will be Hickory Shad. However there are many other species of fish in the same stretch of river including Smallmouth Bass, Largemouth Bass, Snakehead and possibly Stripers. So you may want to have a variety of flies with you.
If you plan on wading. I would highly recommend wading shoes/boots with some kind of cleats or felt souls. And a wading staff. Parts of the river bottom are rocky, steep sloping and slick .
Wading the Rappahannock River can be dangerous do so at your own risk.
IF WE GET A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF RAIN LEADING UP TO THE TRIP, AND THE RIVER IS HIGH/MUDDY/DISCOLORED. THE TRIP MAY BE CANCELED.
If the trip is canceled I will definitely post this on the list serve.
If anyone has questions email or text
