You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.
I don't look back at the things I can no longer do, I just look forward to the things I still can.

Where on the James do you guys put in? I live in Goochland about 5 miles from either Columbia, or Cartersville and 12 miles from Maidens...y'all ever float there?

Re: A James River Small Mouth Trip
My first smallie trip on the james, I hooked a state citation smallie. The do put up a fight. He pulled my kayak up river against the current a bit before I got him in the yak. 
I got a great pic, a great fish, and the citation for the wall. 
HE was released unharmed to make more fish.

I was just over the James River a couple of weeks ago. I stopped in at the Walk Bridge between Buena Vista and Big Island. I later learned that it is actually part of the Appalachian Trail. Saw a great view of the River up there.
