Harrisonburg Fishing

Not exactly an expedition but living in Harrisonburg this summer I have been able to fish almost everyday. Here are some of mine and my buddies best catches from the South River, Dry River, South Fork and Main Stem of the Shenandoah. Smallies have been our main target, today I landed a 3 lb small mouth but did not have a phone on the river for a pic. This area has a healthy population but the larger fish are tough to find. If you have interest fishing this area or need bait/location recommendations let me know.

Re: Harrisonburg Fishing

That looks to be about 12-13" if I were to guess.  Congrats on the good fishing!

It is pristine, the river comes from the reservoir that Harrisonburg uses for drinking water
