hokiefisherman93 Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Also they closed (locked) off the parking lot that people used by the spillway; other than that, there is no parking that I know of for Wilde Lake Quote

JGHarris71 Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 I am going to Res this post as I am new to the area as well. I have been wanting to try the rock hopping the James for a while now. Use to love to do that on the Roanoke growing up.. Where are the best places to park to get access to the rocks between Mayo and Belle Isle? Can anyone provide detailed locations of where to park/fish from say Mayo up to Bosher Dam? I live /work at Innsbrook and I will say that there are posted rules around the lake and also park use rules at Innsbrook.com. First its Catch and release only and no boats. you cannot be on the trails after dark. Its open to anyone with a license. Quote
Super User Sam Posted June 1, 2012 Super User Posted June 1, 2012 The rain we are getting will put the Historic James River off limits and make the river a chocolate milk shake until the excess water subsides. Get an ADC Mapbook of greater Richmond and view the areas you want to visit and look for places to park. DO NOT LEAVE ANY VALUABLES, GPS UNITS, CAMERAS, WALLETS, CELL PHONES, SPORTS EQUIPMENT AND ANY THING OF VALUE IN SIGHT IN THE CAR. Pony Pasture is a safe place to park and walk about half mile down the road and wade into the river before the Z-Dam. Great smallmouth and catfish fishing in this area. ALWAYS WEAR YOUR PERSONAL FLOTATION DEVICE. WEAR FELT SOLE SHOES. FISH WITH A FRIEND. The James River is very unforgiving and it can become a terror in a blink of the eye. Quote
JGHarris71 Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 Yeh I was down at Belle Isle last weekend with the river above 5 feet and knew then that it was not a place for faint of heart.. Reminds me of SM Fishing on the new up in Giles. It would eat you up and spit you out too but I still love to go do that. It sure did look fishy in some of those holes..I am goign to give it a week or two for the levels to drop and hit it early one Saturday.. If your interested I will post up here Quote
