Suggested Drop in/out?

I've never fished the James, planning a trip floating in a raft and flinging flies for Smallies. Any suggestions where folks like to drop in at?   Also open to any suggested streamer patterns.   Thanks in advance.

You'd probably be best off floating from horse creek down to galena.

Yes, just a day float, going last part of June sometime.   Thanks, David

Depending on water levels and the day you choose to go some sections may be covered up by outfitter boats. Kerr to Galena and Shelvin Rock to Hootentown will be packed on the weekends. The crowds don't bother the fish but they can disturb your sanity. There are sections above and below that offer the same fishing opportunities.
