New guy intro here.  I'm Ryan, live in Richmond, work in Richmond, and fish all over.  Primarily fish for trout, but also chase smallmouth when the water warms up.  Trying to learn the Smith as best I can, and I have fished Mossy a lot, as well as the mountain streams of western VA.  I also hunt birds, which are few and far between but my Setter likes the exercise.  Some pics go without saying, so attached are pics of a Smith float from Labor Day.  No trout caught, only 1 chub.

Man thats a pretty shitty intro.. But you're a fellow bird hunter so, you get a pass from me. The other won't be so lenient.

What kinda bote you got?

ptfranze

Ehhhh.... you tried, which is more than some of the other recent intros.

Put in some more fishing pictures/fish, alcohol, hell anything.

Go back and look at some of the better intros and then add to yours accordingly

Cool grouse and dog

Shitty intro tho

Woolly Bugger

dog is the best part... :-\

what about shad / stripers ??
ex - I'm not going to live with you through one more fishing season!
me -There's a season?

Pastor explains icons to my son: you know like the fish symbol on the back of cars.
My son: My dad has two fish on his car and they're both trout!

I hate Mossy. 

You ought to fish for those Stripers that run the James.

ryguy

The grouse dog IS the best part.  He doesn't always get on a lot of grouse, but he will hunt as long as I can walk behind him.

Fished for Shad on the James and Rappahannock, never had much luck on the James but always find them on the Rappahannock.

Short & shitty.

Beautiful pup. We had one like that several years back when we messed with the birds.

Mossy is on my to-do list. I don't know jack-shit about it.

Smith -- Meh.

Post some reports. Pictures of whatever are appreciated.

Dee Vo, you know Mossy is just a glorified pellet head stream filled with cow crap right? Never understood the love for mossy.

No, sir. I had no idea. I was only aware of it's popularity. If it's nothing but stocker water, well, I'll just go ahead and scratch that one off the list. The intel is most appreciated, J.

Mossy - mudhole, overfished, over cowed  b';
The Rap - underappreciated
This intro - foul pop, needs better contact, but you're swinging, some promise
Nice pup

Ive never understood why people don't know it is stocked. People swear up and down those are wild fish. Petey use to go down there with pellets and chuck handful in the stream and the water boils he said.

The Rap is on my list as well. Anything unappealing there I should know about?

Access sucks. A canoe/kayak, raft down, get out and wade river. Long distance between take outs.
Could turn into a loong day on low water. Rappahannock and Rapidan, rivers of my youth.

I shall try it at some point. I'll remember to refer back to you while planning.
