Current River Conditions: 165 CFS

Fishing Report - Poor to Fair: Jim at Ken's Sporting Goods in Bridgeport https://kenssport.com reports "The East is running at about 165 cfs today. Unfortunately the water temps are pretty high right now with the hot weather we've been having. It's probably best to stay off the river right now because of the high water temps and low oxygen levels. We haven't really had any reports from down there as it seems most anglers are fishing elsewhere due to the temperatures. That being said, the weather guessers are saying that starting Tuesday there will be a cooling trend and several days of thunderstorms, if this does happen this should be very good for the river, as well as the Reservoir. If this happens the water temps should drop considerably and things might become more fishable quickly. I'd recommend giving us a call later in the week to see how things are shaping up. "

VIRGINIA LAKES (8/13/26) Open for the season

Fishing - Good: The Virginias are still holding their own with quite a few good reports coming in from up there. Fly anglers stripping streamers and leeches with sinking lines have been doing well and anglers fishing from tubes with mini jigs have been having lots of success. It's a little slow midday when the sun is high but early and late in the day has been pretty good.
