I parked on the road Saturday. The cops were parked there too, but didn't see them issue any tickets.

Not sure about 377 but they will give you a ticket for parking at 114 and H creek. Saw them doing it last week end. saw 4 cars there today, no tickets when I drove by but just a matter of when the po po drives by you will get a ticket at that spot.

don't know what would be illegal parking on the shoulder of a road as long as it's not posted

Iam not sure it is either..Iam just checking to see if it was true..I dont want to make that mistake if it is..LOL

don't know either,but saw them
writeing tickets may not have to be posted if it's a state highway, heck call roanoke pd and ask them.I think one law is you can't park within 50' of a bridge. not sure the law has to be poted

Walled from the RR parking at 377 to Henrietta Creek, its a long hike and I�m glad I had GPS. I ran into Fishfinder Frank and his crew there in Franks boat. After a short talk I continued up the H creek. I wore my breathable waders so I slid down a bank and into the water. I started wadding and fishing my way up the creek. I ran into Cousin2, his 4 yo son and a friend. They were very generous offering to let me fish with them and offering a boat ride back to 377. I declined and was glad I did. Just around the bend I started catching fish. I would fish, catch several and move on. I stopped counting at 60 at about 1 p.m.. I caught several big females and several crappie some on rooster tails. I started my trek at about 1045 a.m., got to the H creek about 1130 and fished till about 545. I was going to Roulette Creek this morning but I will be back on the H in the morning. I did take pics and will post them along with what I will hopefully take today.

John L. - Thanks for the welcome. We were on the west side.

Took my boy yesterday pm to the same spot. We only managed 6 bite was light and slow, mostly males. Will try to make it back out there by the end of the week.

DO NOT PARK A VEHICLE (whether occupied or not) within 50 feet of the nearest
rail of a railroad crossing.
PARKING, STOPPING, OR STANDING ON A HIGHWAY OUTSIDE AN URBAN
AREA: Never park or leave your vehicle standing on the paved part of any
highway outside of a business or residential district when you can park off
the roadway. If you cannot park off the road:
1. Leave plenty of room for others to pass.
2. Be sure that your vehicle can be seen for at least 200 feet from each
direction.

Slo_One01 I hiked to Henrietta from 377, its about 2 miles and you have to cross a couple of feeder creeks. The trails become very vague in places but I have a tracking app on my phone that helped. I think the run will last a few more weeks. The females I caught yesterday were all fat and there were a lot of them.
I�m off to try it again today, have to work tomorrow through Sat and wont be able to fish till Sunday or Monday. I�ll post today how I do.

John L. Shoot me a pm if you want to try and meet up on Sunday...Good luck..

Well if you can park at 114 and Henrietta creek, it would be a much easier walk to the fish, heck- they are catching fish right at 114 and the creek where everyone is trying to park, within 100 yards of 114 they are biteing. Might be that some of the cars stayed on the pavement and got tickets for that.

Yeah, The best SandBass fishing I ever did was when u could drive down that dirt road that is now gated off 114..There is an old broke down Bridge there not to far from the HOLE peeps call BLUE HOLE OR HENRIETTA HOLE...I wish u could still drive down to the river..

So........You agree.Good.

John, if you are fishing Sunday AM, I can probably join you. I'm planning on fishing RC on Friday AM and it's too far of a drive on Sunday so DC sounds like a good plan since I need to get back by noonish.

Well went back to the same spot as yesterday and did pretty well. Started fishing at 11:30 and limited at 13:30. Could have limited sooner but didn�t want anything below 12". Didn�t catch any crappie today but had a blast on the sandies.
