hey there. ive recently taken a guided trip on the new and now all i can think about is cathing a smallmouth. any suggestions for somewhere around the Dinwiddie area for a good smallmouth trip

There is the Nottoway River but I have never heard of anyone fishing it in Dinwiddie County.

As for smallmouth, you need to hit the upper James River.

The Pony Pasture rocks in Richmond are great for smallmouth.

You need to wear a PFD and felt soled shoes if possible to walk the rocks in the river.

Upper James from Watkins Landing up river is good for smallies. You can also catch some smallies from Watkins towards Bosher's Dam.

Otherwise, I have no idea where to go in Dinwiddie County to fish for smallies.

Maybe someone else has some suggestions? 

Another Dinwiddian! Nottoway river is the best place as far as Dinwiddie goes, We go to Cut Bank and head up river, though down river may actually be better cause it has a bit more rapids. All the smallies I've caught have been in the rapids but its pretty uncommon to catch them.. I usually end up just catching rockbass by fishing the rapids (which I are pretty common to catch). 07 I managed to catch a 3 pound Smallie up river, biggest small mouth I've caught and very rare in the nottoway there are some much bigger in the river but nottoway inst known for large populations.

My dad said he has caught some in Stoney Creek when he was younger, so far I haven't caught any in it but I just started last year. We should get together to fish sometime, if you don't mind walking through rough vegetation/terrain to fish we can fish the banks of Stoney Creek my new Fav past time, plus I know a few ponds here and there.
