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.

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.
