drmnbig Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I've been here a few months now and I'm beginning to learn some names and the whereabouts of some. It's almost time to really get to fishing so I figured I'd start a thread so that maybe some of us that live close together to be able to hook up for some good fishing. Just post your location and maybe some waters you fish. I'll start.... I live in Staunton. I've got a couple ponds near here and the Middle River that I have access to. I also fish most of the smaller lakes in and around the Charlottesville area. When I can I fish the bigger lakes like Anna and Buggs Island.

Derek84 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I'll be in and out of Fredericksburg through out the spring/summer. I like to fish the Potomac (Aquia creek, Pohick Bay), and Anna on the big boat. Hunting Run on the small boat, and wade for smallmouth on the upper Rappahannock. As well as the occasional trip up to Shenandoah for some native brookies on the fly rod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickster Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 NOVA... fish mostly Potomac DC tidal waters, Beavercreek d**n reservoir, lake Holiday, small ponds and lakes scattered around. Would like to try Occoquan and Burke this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABasser Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I've fished many of the small lakes/reservoirs around the NoVA area. I dont mess around with most of them much anymore. Its dawned on me how great of a fishery the Potomac is so I'll be putting in most of my time there this summer I expect. I've fished Occ Res a lot in the past but doubt I'll get the season launch pass this year. It's just easier to catch greater quantity/quality in the Potomac. Not knocking the Res but just my opinion. Besides the Potomac I'll fish Hunting Run a bit and the Rapp for my smallie fix (its almost in my backyard). When I'm at Tech I'll fish the New River some. Looking forward to the spring/summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hokiefisherman93 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Richmond area in and around short pump. Mostly fish the local areas but jump at a chance for bigger fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Drums- Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Yet another NoVA guy. I've fished the lakes/ponds all the other NoVA folks have mentioned, but like VABasser said, I'm pretty much now focusing all of my efforts on the mighty Potomac. It really is an amazing fishery with so much to offer, and even more to learn from. I do love Occoquan Reservoir too, though. That lake is FULL of quality fish. Oh, and the Upper Potomac is an incredible smallmouth fishery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
