Never heared of the lake?

Its about 20 miles or so north of winston-salem. Small power plant lake thats supposed to have some big bass in it. I think they have some open tournaments there. Its only a hour or so from the house so i was interested. $4 gallon gas prices makes it hard to travel far

Pop-R, I am from the Martinsville, VA area and we fish Belews several times per year, matter of fact I have a club tournament there Saturday. This is a Duke power lake and the water temps are higher due to warm water discharge into the lake. http://www.duke-ener...belews-lake.asp For example, the fish are bedding already. You will hear folks refer to where the warm water comes out as the "hot hole" and can even find you tube clips of folks fishing Belews or fishing the hot hole. The fishing can be pretty good but I don't know if I would call it a big fish lake. I normally put in at the Pine Hall ramp and it is very nice and good parking unless you hit a tournamnet day where it can fill up at times.
