Things are picking up on the reservoir. Now, if she would just let me catch some fish.

Welcome to BR. If you're looking to learn, you've come to the right place.

From the shore, I haven't been getting much in the way of bass hits for about the last ten days at Swift Creek Res. Caught a couple from the yak last Sunday. Bluegill seem to be the bank fishing catch of the moment. My six year old daughter loves it!

Hello and welcome to BR!

Welcome to BR!

Looks kind of like a Buddha Baits Baby Momma Beaver.

I use snaps without swivels on everything. As I've gotten older, I've become farsighted and tying knots throughout the day without reading glasses has become a major challenge.

Amelia or Cumberland perhaps? Anyway, welcome to BR from a Chesterfield County resident.

Ha ha. I didn't notice it was a nine year old thread when it showed up at the top of the southeastern fishing section. I just looked at a map and I wouldn't call that Northern Virginia either.

Although the sampling numbers are a bit old (mostly being from 2015 and 2016), according to DGIF, the top five lakes in Northern Virginia for bass >15" are: Occoquan Pelham Germantown Burke Fluvanna-Ruritan As for Swift Creek Reservoir, although its nowhere near Northern Virginia, I am curious where the information about citation fish comes from as i fish that reservoir around four or five times a week.

Glad you insist she wears her PFD at all times on the boar and that she's okay. I must say she's quite the caster for her age!

Welcome to the forum. I've learned a lot of great things here and hope you will as well.

Welcome to the forum. We live in Woodlake right on the water so I fish Swift Creek Reservoir several times a week. See you out there!

...and a great resource it is. Welcome from a fellow newbie.

Welcome aboard Bobby!

Have you tried Echo Lake Park?

Welcome to the board. I am new myself. There's a lot of great info here. I've also found their YouTube videos to be a great resource.

Swift Creek Reservoir

Hey all, I'm Rob and I live southwest of Richmond, Virginia. We recently bought property on a 1,700 acre lowland reservoir so I've been reading a lot here for a couple of months and found a lot of great info about fishing during the spawn. Looking forward to reading more and finally being able to participate.
