About this ebook
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.
