I hear the Virginias are ice free now and we’ve started to hear about some good numbers of smaller rainbows and brookies being caught up there, we’ve also had some holdover BFEF tagged fish comeing in most days that are in the 3 to 5 pound range. Power bait, pinched crawlers, mice tails and inflated crawlers have been doing it for the bait anglers and Thomas Bouyants, Panther Martins and Sierra Slammers have been doing well for the lure anglers. Haven’t heard much from the fly anglers yet but I’d expect wooly buggers, seal buggers, mini leeches, soft hackles and pheasant tails all to do well up there this time of the year.
