Had a great day on Big Stony catching browns on dry flies. It seems that a good number of fish have resumed feeding in ‘pocket water’ after spending the winter in deeper runs. Has anyone else noticed this?

NRVTU members were featured in a recent Roanoke Times article about the chapter’s work on Big Stony Creek at Glen Alton. Check it out!
Has anyone checked out the new e-book Pulp Fly? It seems to be attracting quite a bit of attention and I’m curious. I must admit that the amount of great (and free) fly fishing content on the web has spoiled me and I’m hesitant to pay for a subscription…but Pulp Fly has assembled quite a crew of writers from The Drake, Gray’s Sporting Journal, Fly Rod & Reel, and Fly Fish Journal, and I’m tempted to see what its all about. Check out the writeup on the TU Blog. If anyone has subscribed please share your thoughts!
The weekend of April 21 is shaping up to be an epic one. Not only is NRVTU’s Spring Thaw-Out Banquet at 6pm that Saturday, but the Virginia Fly Fishing and Wine Festival is also going down in Waynesboro throughout the weekend. What better combination is there than fishing and wine? Cold beer, maybe…but wine is good too. Lefty Kreh will be there, along with many other great speakers and instructors. Get all the details at vaflyfishingfestival.org. If you decide to go, just be sure to be back in time for our banquet because you won’t want to miss out!
