Fishing Rockfish River
The Rockfish River is associated with the historical movement of fish, as Rockfish Valley is named for the fact that before the dams on the James River were constructed, rockfish ran from the bays as far west as the valley. This historical presence of rockfish in the valley contributed to the river's designation.
