The Contented Angler
Shenandoah Fly-fishing
These pictures were taken between May 14 - 16,
2002. We visited the Shenandoah streams for
some brook trout fishing, camping, and most
importantly, relaxation. These are some of the
most relaxing pools we've ever seen. The March
Brown, Gray Fox, Yellow stonefly and various
caddis joined us. We shared a 7.5 foot
3-weight which we feel is a perfect rod for these
streams and made things even more enjoyable.
"But the real way to know a little river is not to glance at it here or there in the course of a hasty journey, nor to become acquainted with it after it has been partly civilised and spoiled by too close contact with the works of man. You must go to its native haunts; you must see it in youth and freedom; you must accommodate yourself to its pace, and give yourself to its influence, and follow its meanderings whithersoever they may lead you."

This is the Brook Trout's domain and we enjoyed these wild
streams and wild colorful trout.
At one pool it was hard to keep these little
gems off the hook.
