I really enjoy fishing Passage Creek. Passage Creek is located just outside Front Royal off of State Route 55. It is easy to get to the creek. Take exit 6 off of RT 66 in Front Royal and head into town. Once you cross the Shenandoah River turn right onto Rt. 55. Follow for a couple of miles until you see the Fish Hatchery sign on the left. Follow this road until you see the next Fish Hatchery sign and turn left, 100 feet up you will see the creek. This is a good place to start if you have never fished this area before. You can head in either direction and catch nice Rainbows and Native Brookies. Down stream about a 1/2 mile becomes private land so beware.
This past Sunday was a nice day for fishing, overcast and relatively warm. Unfortunately the stream was packed with anlgers. I fished from about 11:30 to 3:00 and never saw a fish. A first for me at Passage Creek. I think the pressure on the creek was the culprit. Each time I tried a new spot I saw a fisherman or recent footprints. I tried nymphs, Blue Olives and even a wolly Bugger, but no luck.
