Only missed by one letter - Rappahannock. It's a great river, from
brookies higher in the Blue Ridge to smallies down around
Fredericksburg, to sea run species in the tidal zone. A few of us
ROFFians actually had a few smallmouth claves there back in the day.

And ditto on "Mr. Rapidan". I've been close to the Rapidan a few
times but never fished it. I remember it as a sorta subplot in Howell
Raines' "Flyfishing Through the Mid-life Crisis". I've wanted to
catch a brookie there ever since reading that book.
