Looking for some ponds or places to fish from the bank for bass around the Roanoke va area thanks..

You and me both my friend. I've lived in Roanoke for many years and had permission to fish several great ponds back in the day. Today I haven't been able to find one and if I have no one is willing to let me even look at it.  If you do find one hit me up and we'll head over there together! I always release fish and use artificial only, no trash, no alcohol....I just want to fish. Good luck !
