Sam,
I'm new to the site; I joined to research the James. Looks like I came to the right place. I'm wondering how the water is upriver from Watkins...you mentioned boulders and rocks, how deep is the water? Are there any class one or two rapids up above? Is there a boat ramp above Watkins I could put in my boat (1760 River Rave w/ 80hp jet Merc).
