Virginia's slice of England in the Shenandoah Valley — a meandering limestone spring creek with stable, gin-clear water and big, wary, well-fed browns that demand a long leader and a humble approach. Hoppers and sulphurs, a careful crawl, and a creek that fishes nothing like the freestone mountains above it.
