Fishing the Shenandoah River with Harry Murray
by Harry Murray at Murray's Fly Shop
Fall is my favorite time to fish the Shenandoah River because I catch lots of large smallmouth bass. The sections of the North Fork of the Shenandoah River that most anglers favor is from New Market downstream to Strasburg. However, a very productive section of the South Fork of the Shenandoah River that receives less pressure is from Luray downstream to the Andy Guest Park. Many of the public access points in these areas area are highlighted in my book Virginia Blue River Streams.
Aquatic grassbeds are my favorite places to fish for smallmouth bass. From the time they form in the middle of the summer until fall, I go out of my way to devote a great amount of time to these areas because they provide an abundance of food and cover for the bass. I like to fish these grassbeds from the downstream side of the ledges by wading or floating depending on the depth of the river. They seldom let me down in the number and size of the bass I catch.
