An experienced angler and guide offers tips and information on
catching more fish in the Roanoke Valley. With easy access to the
Roanoke and James Rivers, Carvins Cove Reservoir and Smith Mountain
Lake, and the many other streams and lakes in Bedford, Botetourt,
Franklin, Henry, Patrick, Pittsylvania, Roanoke, and Rockbridge
Counties, anglers in the Roanoke Valley are blessed with some of
the finest lake and river fishing on the East Coast. In Fishing the
Roanoke Valley, M. W. Smith, a professional outdoor guide and
author of Fishing the New River Valley, discusses the fish species
common to the streams of the Roanoke Valley, from tiny native trout
to monster-sized striped bass, and discusses the many stocked trout
streams in the region, county by county, as listed by the Virginia
Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. He also offers invaluable
tips on fishing Smith Mountain Lake for striped, smallmouth, and
largemouth bass and gives sage advice on working the very popular
and productive water at Carvins Cove Reservoir. Fishing the Roanoke
Valley covers how to target certain species throughout the year,
including useful information on winter fishing (such as vertical
jigging), catching and using live shad, and tackle and lure
choices. The James River is well known for its excellent smallmouth
fishing, and Smith shares his experience to help anglers find
success in targeting this and other game fish species such as
muskie and catfish. Detailed information on a number of great float
trips down the Upper James from Eagle Rock to Snowden (through
Balcony Falls)--including entry and exit points for floats--and
useful tips about how to negotiate rapids provide enormous help for
recreationalpaddlers and anglers. Fishing the Roanoke Valley also
features a comprehensive map of Roanoke Valley streams as well as
notes on specific fishing locations keyed to maps in DeLorme's
Virginia Atlas and Gazetteer and an appendix that lists local guide
services, tackle shops, rod and reel repair shops, boat dealers,
and more. Whether new to the Roanoke Valley or a longtime resident,
novice or pro, the angler will find Fishing the Roanoke Valley: An
Angler's Guide fully stocked with the information needed to best
utilize the area's abundant waters.
