Fishing Information	The lodge boasts an excellent location on James River. Fish off the property or float down river. Eight rental canoes available. River access is via a beautiful forest road, ending at the spacious, inviting camping/picnic area. You may wade out into the river, which can be walked across except when the level is up. The bottom is rocky, with abundant structure, logs, and vegetation for hiding your prey. Many varied rock formations create shallow (a few inches), quick runs with hideout eddies, and deep (27 feet), slow holes, providing both streamlike fishing with flies or spinners, or deeper structured lake-like fishing for the flatheads (35+ pounds) and that hide-out record smallmouth. Guests often snorkel to find the hideouts in the clear, warm, summer waters, or take a timeout at "Jacuzzi Falls" after a tough day of landing smallmouths. Winter fishing... For the very hearty, dedicated, patient fisherman! As the temperature drops, so generally do the fish... into slow deep holes and channels. Big cats and senior bass are caught, but at a snail's pace. If you decide you'd like some lake fishing too, Holliday Lake State Park is 25 minutes away, with crappie, bluegill, pickerel, walleyed pike, small and largemouth bass, and a couple of varieties of catfish.
