Fly Fishing the James River

We are still getting a few pop up thunderstorms this week which is not helping the rivers return to normal.  I got out yesterday on the James and the water was not bad, still higher than I like, with okay clarity. It didn’t take long throwing a popper to the bank to attract a 17 inch smallmouth bass to eat.  We did well on poppers, with a few 17 inch bass, and 18 inch bass being our biggest.
