Cliff Miller III, son of the owners of the property, mentioned to Hickey the possibility of opening a fly fishing business several years ago. Hickey was busy then working in Lander, Wyoming for the Diamond Four Ranch resupplying wilderness camps and guiding fishermen and hunters. After four years out west he decided to come back to Virginia.
Hickey and his new bride spent several months cleaning trash for two miles along the Thornton River. With the help of Hunt Harris, Chris Bird and Bird’s front-end loader and dump truck, they carried out five or six loads of trash. Hickey said the trash consisted of old refrigerators, cars, tires, tin cans, shoes, toys and scraps of metal, some of it from 80 years ago.
After a rain they walk the banks always carrying a trashbag to clean up objects washed downstream.
Miller, who financed the clean-up, said that in the late 1970s the river was so polluted his family’s dairy cows were unable to reproduce due to a parasite in file water. It was discovered that raw sewage from Sperryville was dumped into the river above the farm. Now the river is thriving from their tender, loving care and the Sperryville sewage project and has become a scenic success as well.
Hickey, 27, was bom and raised in Richmond, graduated from Hampton-Sydney College as an English major and is starting to write fly fishing articles he hopes to publish.
