Fishing

Bedrock ledges within the North Fork of the Shenandoah River create a unique habitat for fish where angling can be very productive. The North Fork is a relatively narrow, shallow river and is easily accessible for wade angling. In addition, Shenandoah County has over 31 miles of trout areas including Passage Creek, Peters Mill Creek, Tomahawk Pond and Trout Pond as well as a trout farm open to the public for fishing.
