Jackson River fishing regulations

Virginia DWR classifies water on the Jackson River as Class II, Class V and Class VI, managed as stocked holdover and wild. This is a designation of the fishery, not the season and creel rules. Virginia DWR records brook trout, brown trout and rainbow trout in the classified reaches. The posted signs and the current digest are the authority, not this page.
