Thank you for the heads up. Any update?

Put in at Watkin’s, fished to Bosher’s Dam...didn’t get one hit. I wasn’t aware of Tuckahoe Creek. I’ll have to fish it next time.

Tomorrow, I’m heading to fish the James for the first time. Taking Sam’s advice, putting in at Watkin’s and fishing down to the city. Any updates and advice on lure selection would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again Sam!

Sam, is the water level between Flatwater to Pony Pasture suitable for a boat? how about from Bosher Dam to Flatwater?

Thanks for the updates.

Thanks Brad Reams for the info. I’m now leaning towards waiting for the river level to go up before fishing the James, especially since it’s a 2:45 hour drive for me.

I’m considering fishing the James for this first time this weekend. Planning to put in at Watkins. The water level at Cartersville reads 1’. Will I be banging my boat on rocks and spending my time freeing my boat rather than on fishing? Thoughts?

I’m planning to fish the Susky this weekend anywhere between Hoover Island boat ramp down to Marysville including the Juniata. Any updates on the river conditions and how the fishing has been overall, lures used, times etc would be greatly appreciated.

Perfect post! I just ordered 4.

Thank you everyone for the information.

Thank you for all the info Sam.

Sam, I'm new to the site; I joined to research the James. Looks like I came to the right place. I'm wondering how the water is upriver from Watkins...you mentioned boulders and rocks, how deep is the water? Are there any class one or two rapids up above? Is there a boat ramp above Watkins I could put in my boat (1760 River Rave w/ 80hp jet Merc).
