Mike:

I've fished the New River a few times for smallies near Galax & Fries which is in Grayson County but just over the county line. I can't recall exactly where 'cause my friends drove me there. The fishing was pretty good too!

I don't know Crooked Creek but I've heard good things about the trout fishing in the Wildlife Management Area although I'm pretty sure a daily fee is imposed in addition to a VA license if that's a negative for you.

REAL pretty county down there!
