Springtime, and the trout stocking is still going strong in Virginia.
The Dismal River, in Buchanan County, Virginia. It’s a Category A trout stream, meaning it’s stocked eight times between October and May. Hope it’s not as bad as its name. At least it is off limits to “snagging, grabbing, snaring, gigging and the use of a striking iron… to take non-game fish,” in case you were planning any of that.
