Fishing is still good for those still after it. A ride to Lake Anna revealed some anglers fishing under birds. Likely the stripers were biting. Hunting is still going well with plenty of does being taken. Despite the rain and miserable weather, the Disabled Veterans Hunt went well with approximately 19 deer taken.
