kysmallmouthman Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 Hello everyone, Just found this site and thought I would jump aboard when I saw some older posting of Clayton lake. A buddy of mine and myself are planning on coming to the New River and doing some wade fishing around the Parrot road area close to Radford. I was wondering with the recent rain how is the water level and clarity? I Iive about 4 1/2 hours away here in Ky. and would hate to drive that far for muddy water and high water issues. Thanks for any information and good luck fishing wherever you go! Quote
kysmallmouthman Posted July 9, 2016 Author Posted July 9, 2016 Yes below the Radford area around Bellsprings road. We wade fish a couple times a year in that area. I would hate to drive 4 hours and it be muddy. Quote
WdyCrankbait Posted July 10, 2016 Posted July 10, 2016 I personally would wait. I'm not familiar that much with the New river levels, but VA mountains have gotten a heap of rain this month. Better safe. Quote
kysmallmouthman Posted July 10, 2016 Author Posted July 10, 2016 I think were leaning on waiting. The river has been up for a week now if you go by the gauge and discharge website. 1 Quote
bostonsox2904 Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Call up the new river junction. It's the tubing/camping place. They can look outside their window and tell you. https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=new+river+junction Quote
kysmallmouthman Posted July 20, 2016 Author Posted July 20, 2016 I contacted them and they said it was fine down their way. By looking at the usgs streamflow data it looks great right now at 2.3 I think we are good to go now! Quote
