James River Fly Fishing At The Fall Line

Spent a day on the James River just south of Williams and the 'Z' dam, caught around 19 smallmouth on imitation crawfish and black woolly buggers (#6 hook). Saw several gar and catfish in very clear water, all smallies taken around the riffles, biggest around 1.5lbs. Lots of fun!
