St. Michael's Upper School Pond Bon Air, Virginia

I delivered something to my friend who teaches at St. Michael's Upper School at the end of Hobbyhill Road and their pond is like coffee and cream.

At one time the pond was a great place to fish as it was difficult to access. You had to fight your way through the brush from Trinity High School's parking lot. Very few people did this.

Now you can drive, park, and fish the pond from the bank as St. Michael's constructed their Upper School adjacent to the pond.

I have no idea if there are bass in the pond although rumor has it that St. Michael's did stock it after it was drained during construction.

So if you are in the greater Bon Air, Virginia area and want to try your luck in a new pond check out St. Michael's Upper School on Hobbyhill Road and give it a try. You can find the location on St. Michael's Internet site and Google directions as it is not an easy place to find. Even my WAZE unit got confused. So get a paper map if possible or Google driving directions and make notes.

Let us know how you do.

There is a gate at the entrance onto the school that I think may be closed on weekends and holidays, but I am not certain. Anyway, you can hop over the gate if you want to.
