This is perfect time of the year to hike into the heads of the streams from the access points on top of the mountains to camp and fish for several days. Many campsites will enable you to fish three different feeder streams in three days. A productive technique is to fish a Spirit of Pittsford Mills size 14 or a Mr. Rapidan Parachute size 14 on a Murray's Classic 7.5 foot 5X Leader. Then attach a twenty four inch 5X dropper to the dry and attach a Mr. Rapidan Emerger size 14 or a Mr. Rapidan Olive Soft Hackle Nymph size 14 to this. Fish this upstream dead drift.
