looking downstream

Travel about a ½ a mile and you will come to a parking area on the left.

I parked here and walked back to the bridge.

Date: 17Feb2020
Time: 1:30-4:30 p.m.
Weather: 48 degrees and partly sunny
Water: clear, cold and full (35 CFS at the Stokesville gauge)

Below are some shots taken as I worked my way upstream back to the parking spot.

Field Notes:
VDGIF stocks this water from here, up to the fourth bridge. You will need a valid trout license (annual or lifetime) in addition to the other fishing license if you are fishing in designated stocked trout waters from October 1 to June 15.
