I fish this lake ever year don't really caught most im right next to the state park dock fishing could someone please assist me

Is that Claytor Lake near Radford?

 

A very clear lake and a hard lake to fish.

 

Please introduce your self in the Introductions section so we will know more about you.

 

As for Claytor, clear or natural colors plus a silver spoon.

 

Try any plastics with a "blue glimmer" or "glimmer white."

 

Fish slow.

 

Have fun and listen to your favorite music station on the radio to help pass the time.

One more suggestion.

 

Go by Elliott's tackle shop in Radford and ask the lady and her staff what baits and techniques work best on Claytor.

Green pumpkin trick worm, and a green/chartreuse spinnerbait have been my best out there. Hit the trick worm texas rigged draggin it over a log, and the I was just slow rolling the spinnerbait. My buddy got em pretty good on a white/chartreuse spinnerbait as well just slow rolling.

Theres alot of fish being released around the state park after tournaments.If you have a boat try Peak creek,Spooky Hollow,Clapboard hollow.Later in the year the back of the creeks are stacked with shad and bass. Try a dropshot with a oxblood colored robo worm.Around wood I like a light finesse jig brown and matching trailer. A Zoom Swamp crawler on a split shot rig can be a killer too.Hope this helps.

Sciabica, now that middle school has started you should have the time after school to let us know how you did on Claytor Lake.

 

Please come back to the Forum, introduce yourself if you have no done so, and let us know about Claytor.

 

Thanks.
