River Conditions: High Muddy Water!!

The North and South Fork of the Shenandoah River are both high and discolored from heavy rain which fell in the early morning hours of 6/20/2011. Both of these rivers will be dropping back soon if they have not already reached their crest. The upstream stretches of the North Fork of the Shenandoah will be one of the first areas to become fishable. The North Fork should be fishable upstream from Edinburg, VA by Thursday (6/23) and throughout the drainage by Saturday. The South Fork should be fishable upstream from Luray, VA by Friday (6/24) and downstream to Front Royal, VA by Sunday (6/26). These rough predictions are based on the premise that we receive no more heavy rain this week.
