The James River Guide Reviews


  • Justin

    Much better than I expected. I thought it would be a pretty basic overview of the various floats on the river, but Ingram goes into some wildlife, history, etc. He dedicates some time to specific fishing locations and even lure suggestions (focusing on smallmouths). It's a quick read, but seemingly essential before tackling the James.

  • Sean

    Very accurate description of the river and best fishing areas. I bring this book with me every time I float the James.
