kentuckytroutbum 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2012 kmw- Good luck and tight lines on the Shenandoah. My wife & I took a vacation to the Valley in the Fall of 2010. Visited a lot of the Civil War sites. Took our fly rods and fished both forks of the Shenandoah based upon the advice of Harry Murray. Had a blast. Beautiful country with a lot to do.
