Heading to SNP soon--any reports?

[johnfarr]

Going to check out the Rapidan and Staunton. Any reports from those streams?

Is it still nymph season or is it warm enough for them to start rising readily to dries?

I'll post a report when I get back. Thanks, all.

I fished an East Slope SNP stream (a little north of the Rapidan) this weekend, hiking in off Skyline Drive.  I didn't have time to hike too far down, so I was fishing through the tree branches, in the tiny pools created by the gradient at elevation.  In the deeper pockets, the fish were readily hitting parachute Mr. Rapidans, size 16.  I'm sure a parachute adams or pretty much anything else would work too.  Have fun!

Glad to hear they were hitting dries even in the deeper pools. Thanks!

I fished down there last weekend on the north half of the park and the brookies were crushing a size 16-18 Klinkhammer in both the deep pools and faster water.

The Brookies in SNP are definitely looking up.  All of the general dries will take fish, adams, elk hair caddis, Mr. rapidan, stimulator, etc.  The presentation is the important part, not the fly.  You can always put a dropper off too just in case.
