Our new friends, Todd and Alicia from Ohio, set us up for a great trip down to south western VA to fish the New River. This is one their favorite places to fish...and now one of ours as well.
Each day, we averaged 30-40 smallmouths each. While most of them were in the 8-12" range, there were enough larger fish (up to 21"+) to keep it exciting.
This is one of the prettiest places that we've been fishing. We fished out of rafts...like the kind for white water rafting. These rafts were set up for fishing though, with seats and even motors!
Along the way, we saw beautiful landscapes and wildlife. We even saw a bobcat pounce on a mink and kill it! VERY COOL! Debbi liked seeing the deer swimming across the river too.
We highly recommend this trip to anyone who loves fishing, wildlife and water sports.
You can book a trip through New River Outdoor Company. Tell Britt and Leigh that we sent you: Guided Fishing Trips
You can also rent beautiful, yet affordable, cabins, see here: Cabin rentals

Nice job Brett.
ReplyDeleteWe also had a great time w/ you and Debbi in VA. We're glad you enjoyed a "New" experience in the rafts. Too bad the fall weather didn't cooperate and gave us mid-summer temps. Kept the dinks a bit too active. But, you and Alicia each got a nice fish. Debbi and I will get them next time. Great friends, rivers, and fun. Can't beat it.
Thanks again.
Todd & Alicia
