Local Guide L.E. Rhodes www.hatchmatcherguideservice.com, (434) 286-3366. Well, the rain has continued to keep the river high and muddy. For about two weeks now ...more it has been either near flood stage or bouncing up and down. We have been hitting the local lakes fishing for the grass Carp. The Carp have been sucking down the Cicada bug giving us some great action with fish up to 20 pounds. The Cicadas are all about gone now but you may still hear a few for the next couple days. Hopefully we will get a break and be back on the river by the time the next report is due. Report courtesy of Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries.
