James River The mightiest of Virginia's rivers, the James rises near the West Virginia line and flows eastward to Richmond, then turns southeast, flowing to it's mouth, where it joins the Chesapeake Bay to form one of the world's largest natural ports at Hampton Roads. The stretch of the river above Richmond is some of the finest smallmouth bass water in the nation. In addition, sunfish, channel catfish, walleye, pickerel, crappie, muskellunge and carp abound in it's waters. Below the city, the tidal influence brings a rapid change to the species of fish available. This portion holds largemouth bass, striped bass, channel and blue catfish, sunfish, crappie, carp, gar, yellow & white perch, American & hickory shad, herring, musky and walleye. Below Williamsburg, saltwater species become more prevalent. Among them are: bluefish, seatrout, flounder, spot, croaker, mackerel, red & black drum & tautog. |
