Betsy and I found this dam at the site of Rakes Mill while driving on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia. The miller, Jarman Rakes, allowed customers, and only customers, fish for brook trout in the mill pond while their grain was being ground.

I've never seen a dam quite like that one. Is it still a working mill?
This is a spendid idea.
Good customer service.
Beautiful shot on the fall of water. I think the dam is on built.
Beautiful capture, George. That was a nice bonus for his customers.
very nice
thanks
That's wonderful capture and looks like a so nice place to visit!
That takes me back to a few mill dams we saw while living in MA & CT. Such lovely places. That's a great photo George!
Dam....it's beautiful!
Another beautiful picture - and this one is so interesting, too!
Very scenic.
That is unusual but very pretty.
Neat idea catch your own supper.
Beautiful shot and great information. I just love your photos. I also love the Clarence Iris. The raindrops on these look like beautiful little pearls. Iris' are my mother's favorite flower.
I just love to check out your's and Betsy's adventures!
Have a great day,
Brenda
I would enjoy fishing there as I am sure you would catch something.
The water looks so clean and refreshing in the falls, but the ponds above and below let you know that it's not so much. Cool shot though.
Interesting that the miller limited the fishing to customers. Looks like an interesting, pretty site.
They're very specific about their fishing clientele.
I love how the bracing actually looks like a garden rake :)
You an Betsy see some real pretty places together George. Wishing you both a great weekend.
Such a cool place to fish. We passed a small bridge and kids were swimming underneath and I thought kids always find good places to swim.
How nice! Did you do any fishing?
