bigehokie reviewed the location James River.
I've done most of my James River fishing wading around Richmond (mostly around Pony Pasture). Smallies are plentiful here and I've even managed to catch an unsuspecting channel cat while smallie fishing (I think he was more surprised than I was).

bigehokie reviewed the location Craig Creek.
I've fished the section of Craig Creek that is just North of 460 (near Blacksburg). This section of Craig Creek is stocked and while I saw numerous stocked trout, it's very hard to catch them as the water is clear and shallow. You can count on spooking these fish as they will see you coming.

Other than Tom's Creek, this is the DIRTIEST creek I've ever fished. There is so much manmade trash floating in or around the creek it really made fishing here unenjoyable. I did catch my first ever trout on a flyrod here, but given the opportunity I'd rather drive a few more miles and hit Little Stoney.

New Site Features
June 26, 2011
  • VA Fish Finder Mobile (Beta) - We have just launched our mobile site! Now if you have the latest touch screen mobile device with HTML 5 support (iPhone, Android, Blackberry), you can visit us at http://mobile.vafishfinder.com. The site is still in beta, but anticipate a lot of great features over the next couple weeks. Be sure to send us any features you would like to see added, and we will work to incorporate! Also, native VA Fish Finder applications coming soon!
April 10, 2011
  • NOAA Charts - We have just added NOAA Charts to our Map tab as a new Background layer! We hope these charts will help all you saltwater anglers better plot and plan your next fishing trip. NOAA Disclaimer: CHARTS ARE NOT TO BE USED FOR NAVIGATIONAL PURPOSES. These charts can be used as a planning or analysis tool but may not be used as a navigational aid. Huge thanks to Marine GeoGarage for providing the map service for us to use!
January 19, 2011
  • Cabela's - We have just teamed up with Cabela's as well! Within the next few days, expect the Find Gear section to expand with gear from the Cabela's product catalog. This new addition not only makes it easy to purchase gear, but it will also help you find items you currently own and add them to your Tackle Box. We hope this new relationship makes VA Fish Finder your one-stop-shop for all your fishing needs!

    Shop Cabelas.com!
January 10, 2011
  • Spread the Word - Throughout the site, we have added icons to make it easy to share your trips, locations, and posts with your friends in other social networks. These links should really help promote the site, so take the extra few seconds to help spread the word!

December 20, 2010
  • Bass Pro Shops - Just in time for the holidays, we have teamed up with Bass Pro Shops to add a new Find Gear section to the site. Now you can search for and purchase gear at discounted prices from Bass Pro Shops, while at the same time supporting VA Fish Finder. We have also developed the ability to add items to your "Tackle Box", so you can keep track of and share your gear with fellow anglers.

September 22, 2010
  • Layar Mobile App - We have just learned that our fishing locations and hotspots have been approved and published to the new Layar application available on the IPhone and Android. If you have one of these devices, you can download the Layar application to find fishing locations and hotspots using your phone's camera! We are also continuing to develop our custom Android application, so stay tuned for updates. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy using the Layar application.
April 7, 2010
  • Map Enhancements - Completely reworked the Map tab on the site. New drop down menus for the map, a location list, cleaner popups, marker management, and various performance improvements.
  • Trip Wizard - Added a Trip Wizard to make it easier to create trips! Now you can create a trip in 3 simple steps. Also, you can now define other Fish Finder users who attended the trip with you. Make them contributers so they can add photos, hotspots, and details that you might have missed.
  • Encryption - We have added RSA encryption to all login and sign up forms. It adds a couple seconds to logins, but we feel you will appreciate the extra level of security!
