Bull Run fishing regulations

Virginia DWR classifies water on Bull Run as Class III, managed as wild. This is a designation of the fishery, not the season and creel rules. Virginia DWR records brook trout in the classified reaches. The posted signs and the current digest are the authority, not this page.
