Enjoy Fishing In New River Safely And Responsibly

By Kristi Wilkerson


Fishing New River is touted as being one of the most enjoyable experiences ever. It is most unusual, which makes it an interesting experience just because of that. It is the oldest river system in North America, and the second oldest in the world, second only to the Nile in Africa. It begins as two streams in North Carolina, then flows together 4 miles from Virginia. It then flows northward, which is different from the usual south flowing rivers. It flows for more than 160 miles, eventually emptying into the Mississippi River.

There is something else that sets this site apart from others. There is a huge variety of fish that you can fish for. Be challenged by trying for bass, panfish, catfish, walleye, and muskie. Guided tours and outfitters make you experience even better. It is recommended to catch and release in order to maintain the balance of fish for the future.

In catch and release, the fish is caught then released back into the water. Certain precautions, if followed, will insure the survival of the released fish. These include getting them back in the water as soon as possible, unhooking and releasing them underwater. Care taken in removing hooks will lesson injury. Swish the fish around in the water to get water flowing through their gills before releasing them.

Safety for the fisherman is important to insure an enjoyable experience. Certain safety precautions should be followed. These include wearing a life vest at all times, stay seated in the boat, avoid alcohol, fish at least 100 feet from a boat launch, and never fishing alone are all good precautions to take.

You can provide a special reward for customers or employees by planning a guided trip. This can be a wonderful reward for them. You can even join them and all will have a special time together. This is a great way to reward customer loyalty and employee service.

The best time to schedule a trip is during the spring or fall. Fish are more aggressive feeders at this time, since temperatures are turning cooler. Early morning and late evening are also best times, for the same reason. Some fish are night feeders, making a night trip possible.

Certain regulations will insure fishing New River with safety and responsibility. You much have a fishing license. You can get an annual one, or one for a 3-day time period. Accesses that are private property, which a lot are, should be checked out with the owner for permission to enter. All these tips will help you safely enjoy your trip.
