With all the rain fall last week, it brought the New River back up one foot to where it is running at about 1 to 1.5 foot below normal for this time of year. The temperature in the New River is quite warm.

The clarity had been cloudy for a few days and is clearing nicely. During the cloudy days large cat fish were being caught with minnows and helgramites.

Fishing is good to excellent right now, especially top water fishing. Three to four pound fish have been being caught.
For fly fishermen, you could not find a better time to come between now and this next month. We are catching lots of fish on top water with poppers and dry flies. Mugglers have also been successful.

Thanks for checking out our blog, and we hope to see you on the New River. We will be updating this post twice per week. As always, please catch and release!

Good Day fellow fishermen!

The New River water temperature is about 75 degrees this week. The water level is just below summer normal and is looking pretty clear.

Fishermen at on the New river at Hinton are catching quite a bit of smallmouth and catfish using live bait such as helgramite and crawfish.

The Lower New river fishermen are doing well catching fish using helgramites and crawifsh too. Large numbers of large catfish are being caught from Prince to Thurmnond.

Top water fishing is also coming life on the New river. Can’t wait to see you on the New.

Please Catch and Release!!
