Synopsis

The fishing in Virginia is as diverse as the terrain. From 600-pound tuna in its offshore waters and delicious flounder in the Chesapeake to oversized bucketmouths in the piedmont lakes and 8-inch brook trout in the bubbling mountain streams--what more can a dedicated angler ask for? Based on a lifetime of fishing, Martin Freed describes 100 top sites and what anglers can expect from Virginia’s waters.

Freelance writers and photographers Martin Freed and Ruta Vaskys are well known in the region and highly respected in the fields of angling and Virginia wildlife. Their credits include Fish, Fur, and Game; The Mid-Atlantic Fisherman; The Chesapeake Angler; and the Eastern Shore News. Both are avid anglers and members of the Outdoor Writers Association of America.
