You guys' wives must be amateurs.  When mine gets on me I'll do anything - even work - to make it stop.

You can make it STOP ?

I've learned that if I do what she's harping on me about, the NEXT THING will be even more difficult/expensive/time consuming.    So by procrastinating I at least have a chance at taking a knee and running out the clock.

My wife knows if she gets overly nagging about something I will take a knee and sit there until I die before I do it.

I know the run depends on a lot of different factors but in my limited couple years of experience I've found that late March and almost the whole month of April seems to be better than early March. That being said, im planning my first trip for April 5th...obviously the first report I see in March Ill be out there 😊. I plan on hiking a fair stretch of the river (unless I find em right away) and hopefully find some spots open enough to backcast a flyrod but I will have my spinning gear as well.

If anyone wants to join, shoot me a message. Always fun to try some different strategies and learn new tricks!

The temp really determines when they run on the little sac. .   Sometimes they run before the James sometimes after. Sometimes long run some time short. By in large the best time is first and second week in April for sure. I had a major good tril end of March at taylor three or four years ago though. It was really warm and good flow slight stain.  Clousers flat killed. Then  last year it never really got wild at Taylor's but did down river. I probably won't get to go this year since the baby is due April 4th... so good luck  also I've learned that evening  is best if sunny and clear morning if rainy and murky
