Synopsis

Upper tidal Rappahannock River is a free-flowing, flatwater, scenic river meandering through a narrow gorge with oxbows. Its secluded sections and tributaries provide glimpses of how the river may have appeared to Native American Tribes it sustained and to natural conditions colonists encountered. Much of the nation's early settlement and cultural history was written along its banks and is visible today at historic sites. Recreational fishing the tidal river begins in freshwater at the falls in Fredericksburg and transitions to saltwater species as the river widens and becomes brackish and increasingly saltier as it flows down to its juncture with Chesapeake Bay. Beginning with the fall line and running down to where the meets the Bay, each bend, channel, structure, and key tributary gets an in-detail examination with information on location, depths, physical features, navigational hazards, and likely fishing action. Each chapter looks at specific river segments. Included are charted and uncharted wrecks, ruins, and obstructions, as well as ancient submerged rapids which interact with bottom current to produce predator foraging conditions. There are additional chapters on a lost ironclad target ship found in NOAA survey data and Windmill Point Fish Haven and also a segment on safety for fishing tidal rivers. These exams are coupled with marked charts, bathymetric graphics, satellite views, underwater scans, and a listing of structure GPS coordinates. This book provides structure detail and specificity coupled with easy-to-understand full-color graphics. It's designed for anyone who wants to learn about this historic river, pre-scout fishing hotspots, plan fishing trips with clusters of spots to prospect, add waypoints into their GPS combo, or have a handy field reference in their tacklebox.
