I have never been fishing on the New River but I am going there for the first time this week. I am looking forward to it, especially after watching your video. Thanks for posting this video as I also subscribed.

Hey man, love the New River videos! Besides the New River campground and the launch on the other side of the river, any good recommendations on other access points? I’ve fished these for years and done well but I’m looking for some more locations to try. Also, this time of the year, where can I expect to find the smallies? Thanks!

if youre alone [not multiple vehicles] Im not really sure. Anywhere they run rentals/shuttles. NRC&C is close to home and easy to run up to 4 me. I do Know that the 10 mile run they shuttle is better on the upper 5. This time of year get on the water as early as possible and hit the overhang shade along the bank, especially along the bluffs. Fishing usually dies by 11am or so from the heat/sun.
