That river name sounds very familiar ... does it flow near Warrenton Va?
.... if so that is the place my granddaddy took me to catch my first
fish,
50+ years ago .... reading the name did a Dejevu (sp) thing to me, not
sure
why

On MOnday, Embry dam will be blown sky high and open the Rappahannock
River to migratory fish. In 5 to 10 years this should become the
premier shad fishery in the country with an explosion in smallmouth
and migratory striper fishing as well. Movements are also underway to
secure greater portions of the river from development.

to fish is human....to release Divine!!!!
Heard mention of that today from one of my classmates.
The dam is in Fredericksburg, so it could be the same. If you think it
is,
and you are feeling particularly nostalgic, there is a nice web-site you
should visit. It has info on the breaching of the dam, and events
accompanying it, as well as a very nice photo gallery, and other *stuff *.
It also has links to
related sites. It is called the Friends of the Rappahannock, and the
address is, http://for.communitypoint.org/embry.html.
