dpitt Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd probably be best off floating from horse creek down to galena. dpitt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flysmallie Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Horse Creek to Galena is good but it’s really chugging along right now. It will be better once the water goes down. Lots of good options. When are you going? Is it just a day float? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpitt Posted June 7, 2020 Author Share Posted June 7, 2020 Yes, just a day float, going last part of June sometime. Thanks, David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flysmallie Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
