New River Trip this year?

[Mr. Wilson]

I really want to do some serious fishing, maybe for a week, on the New River. From what I've read, that seems to be about as good as it gets for SMB in VA.. I hope there will be a trip planned by folks here that know the river well..

If nobody plans one & you want to fish it, then get out there and fish it Not trying to be short, but sometimes you can't wait. Do a little research & talk to local DNR guys to get some kayak friendly areas.

There maybe a few guys over that way who would help out or even go along

I go to school at Tech, if you wanna go, gimmie a shout and I can round up my future roommate (kayakevan) and my girlfriend and hit up the river!

I'm down for a float down the river on the weekend!

There was one around here on the New, last year that I was unable to make it to, and looks like it is going to be Sept 5-9th this year.

Some guys from NCangler and from the river bassin forums usually do a trip 2 to blue cat on the new. I haven't seen any posts yet for this year. I went down one day and fished with these guys and had a great time, I was not able to camp, but it is a really nice place.

There are lots of nice places to camp on the New, I would say if you can not find a group with dates already planned, and have dates in mind and an idea of what area of the new you want to hit. Post it in a few of these forums, and I am sure you will have plenty of people step up to help, and join you, if you wish.

If I can help you in any way let me know.

No date yet on this as far as I know. Keep tabs on ncangler though, the discussion about a possible date has started: http://www.ncangler.com/forums/threads/ ... iver-(Mts-)?p=318821#post318821

[Mr. Wilson]

Thanks for the input fella's. I'm goin to do the New at least once if not more often this year. I'm also going to do the Rapidan, Rapahhonnock, James, and 'doah. Would like to get into SMB fishing big time this year...
