Scott and I hit the Rapidan from below the first bridge up to the bridge today and had a slow day. The water was low but clear and cold, the stream was beautiful, the fish that were there this Spring were simply no-where to be found. We primarily used a dry-dropper combos and tried everything to not avail. Scott probably caught 8 small natives and I caught 4-5. The largest brookie is pictured below. We met another gent "Gary" who indicated that Fall fishing here is much slower than spring fishing...boy was he right.
