Despite its name, there is nothing new about the New River. In fact, the river is the oldest in the United States and second-oldest in the world.
Ok......had to clear that up.... Like almost everyone says, wind in the face means you're looking up wind, every thing behind you is downwind.
Shenandoah River in VA/WV...runs South to North as well. Maybe the south to north thing makes for good smallie fishin
My final say on the wind is this:
If the wind is hitting you in the back - you aren't screwed....just turn around!
