Journal Press - King George, VA - Feb. 13

What a wind we had on the weekend! Undoubtedly that cut the fishing off clean. But some anglers were still out on other days.

Rappahannock River Ken’s Tackle (898-1011) reported that ring perch are biting in the river. Some customers were fishing not far from Old Mill Park and caught a nice stringer of fish. The ringers were also hitting in tidal creeks.
