Just wanted to say hello and introduce myself to the Loudoun fishing community. I just moved into Ashburn Village and was looking for advice of the hot spots to fish near my home. I back up to the sports pavilion lake which is fun to fish but I'm looking to fish the river or beaverdam and want to know what the fish like. I am a big fan of crank bate personally but I know it doesn't always work.

Happy to learn as much as I can about fishing as I've only been doing it a year.

Welcome to the forum !!!!

Welcome! Good to see another ashburn guy. Pm me for some good spots.

Welcome! Always nice to meet another ashburn fisherman. I just posted a short video of some bass at Beaverdam Reservoir in the fishing reports section. I don't fish the ponds around there but many people do and catch bass up to 7 pounds in that area. So, it is great fishing and honestly feel like your chances of catching a nice bass there are similar to those caught in Beaverdam. Both great spots. Beaverdam can be obnoxious at times but it holds great fish. I'm still trying to figure that place out. It is definitely a seasonal lake in that good spots are constantly changing with the weather. That makes it very difficult. At least with ponds, you know the fish are going to be there, you just got to get them to bite. Crankbaits are great out there in beaverdam. Make real long casts and fish the points for starters. Let us know what how you do.
