Hickory Shad are thick around the I-95 bridge of the James River in Richmond. Parks Rountrey reports that the fish are large, some over 2 pounds, and they are hitting silver spoons and shad darts, Fly-rodders can take them on Clousers. Catfish dominate the Dutch Gap area of the lower James. Fish better than 40-pounds have been caught. Jumbo largemouth bass continue to be taken at Briery Creek Lake.
