About Elizabeth River

Flowing through Virginia, United States, Elizabeth River is a river that suits anglers willing to walk a bank. Most fish at Elizabeth River hold in identifiable lies — the same eddies, drop-offs, and shaded undercuts produce trip after trip. After heavy rain, Elizabeth River can colour up and rise quickly; that's often when bigger predators come out to feed, but wading conditions get dangerous.

Fishing Techniques

  • For Red drum

    When fishing structure, cast upcurrent and let your bait naturally drift down.

  • For Spotted seatrout

    Look for areas with current and structure, such as points, oyster bars, and grass edges, as spotted seatrout often ambush prey in these locations.

  • For Summer flounder

    Drift fishing with a live bait rig or slowly retrieving a jig along the bottom is a productive way to target flounder.
