The action is good on the North Fork of the Shenandoah River with surface bugs downstream from access point #4 (Near Dr. Truman's Vet Clinic). Upstream from access point #14 (Bealer's Ferry) on the South Fork of the Shenandoah River is good. I like to fish on the surface so I use deer hair bass bugs which I can cast further than poppers. Good bugs are the
Murray's Frisky Frog Deer Hair Bass Bug size 4,
Murray's Red Head Deer Hair Bass Bug size 4 and T
apply Bug Green/White Deer Hair size 6. I usually dress the leader and bugs with
Scientific Anglers Fly Floatant. I also sometimes run a
Murray's Pearl Marauder size 10 on a thirty six inch dropper below the deer hair bass bug.
