About Rose River
A premier wild brook trout stream inside Shenandoah National Park. The Rose River cascades through old-growth forest with pools holding native Southern Appalachian brook trout. Artificial lures only, all fish must be released — this is conservation fly fishing at its best.
Regulations
Shenandoah National Park regulations: artificial lures only, catch-and-release only, Virginia fishing license required. Gauge shown is the Rapidan River at Ruckersville — use as a directional trend indicator. No direct gauge on the Rose River.
