Anyone have any experience with kayak shuttle ("livery") services along the New River (the Virginia portion)?  The few outfitters I've found only shuttle their own boats -- claiming it's a liability insurance issue.  I have some doubts about that, but it's their business; they get to make the rules.  And speaking of the New, anyone have some tried and true fly-rod tactics for the muskies said to lurk in some stretches?

Thanks.

A bike shuttle would be OK for a short day trip, perhaps.  (Though it would likely whip me good given the infrequency of my bike riding and the hilly terrain.)  I am thinking about a long one-day or even two-day drift.  Thanks for the suggestion, though.

Donnie Turner runs "Blue Cat on the New" and provides shuttling.  He will drive you on both the Ivanhoe-Austinville stretch and Foster Falls-Allisonia, which are above the lake.  Great smallmouth fishing.  http://www.bluecatonthenew.com/  .  Donnie is a great guy.  If you decide to use him, tell 'em Harry from Richmond sent you . . . it will get you a beer for the ride home!  ;-)
