  • Went up to the Shenandoah valley in Virginia to fish with ‪@FishHawk‬ on the south Fork Shenandoah River. The water was super clear and easy flowing, below are kayaks we saw tons of catfish and even more smallmouth bass.

    When I was a young dude, I owned a piece of land on the North Fork, just over the bridge from Strasburg into an area called Sandy Hook - named for a long, wide bend in the river. I used to hike down a rocky hill, wade into the stream in shorts and sneakers, and catch 10"-12" smallmouth all day long. And with a great view of Signal Knob, it was a beautiful spot. There was an area where flood waters always deposited rich bottom soil, and I used to comb through that stuff for free bait - it was full of night crawlers. Those fish ate them like candy. I later got married, had kids, sold the land and moved on.. But I sure miss those days.

      In my 20s and early 30s I lived in Winchester, Boyce, White Post and Berryville. Had a job in Front Royal for a while. Did plenty of bank fishing, mostly between Routes 50 and 7, north of where the River forks. I THINK I fished the South Fork twice, but I'M SURE of at least once ... because I got a ticket for fishing without a license! The SAME person who told me it would be OK saw the Game Warden driving up and hollered at me to put my pole down ... so I did, not even knowing why! That Game Warden didn't even check anybody else's license ... ONLY the guy who acted guilty by throwing his pole down! Of course, I chewed my buddy out for getting me caught. It WOULD HAVE been OK ... if he hadn't told me to throw my pole down!
      The things we do when we are young! I'm 65 now, and haven't fished the Shenandoah in, oh ... more than half my life ago??? (LOL!) Was nice to see it again in this video!

    They put in at White House Bridge, near Luray. I fished here one time for about 18 hours. Bass fished all day then catfished till about 5 in the morning. Must have saw 200+ shooting stars that night. Shenandoah River is a special place. I live in Chattanooga now, but I'm thinking of going back this spring when the helgamites hatch.

    Now you're hurting me!! When I was in the Army and stationed at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in DC my late best friend Byron Smith and I would drive out I-66 to fish that river. It was our favorite river in the country to fish... and we fished our way all around the country!! Yes, that river is basically smallmouth heaven!! He caught one once that could have been a state record fish. He was fishing by himself that time, and didn't have a camera with him... We would float the river in canoes. Sometime I'd fish with a flyrod and sometimes with spinning gear like yours. The absolute smallmouth lure for that river (I wish you have asked before the trip so I could have told you...) is the Rapala Broken Back Minnow (they call it jointed) 4" or 6" in black and white. You'll slay the smallmouth with those!! I once caught a 2+ pound bluegill right across the river from the Front Royal Canoe Company take-out point. It literally pulled me and that canoe wherever it wanted in that river until he wore himself out!! Byron and I shared many many days of memories on the Shenandoah!! Thank you for the walk down memory lane!! And if you'd like a recommendation for another adventure - head up to the Missouri/Arkansas border area and float the White and Norfolk Rivers. That is some of the best trout fishing you could imagine... You can catch trout there like you were slaying the smallies on the Shen!! If you ever decide to try that, let me know and I'll meet you up there.
