Welcome Anglers! I have
been fishing Lake Anna (both "hot" and "cold"
sides) since it opened in 1972. Lake Anna
is the second largest fresh-water inland lake in
Virginia, with over 250 miles of shoreline and
some 13,000 surface acres of water. The
lake has changed a lot over the years but still
remains a great fishing destination!
I also fish Ni River
Reservoir, Abel Lake, Motts Run Reservoir
and Hunting Run Reservoir. According to the
Va. Game & Fish, Hunting Run Reservoir is
expected to be one of the best "small" lakes for
bass in Virginia, right along with Briery Creek
Reservoir and Sandy River Reservoir.
For clients that want a more
private fishing hole, I have access to 2 large
private ponds. These ponds are full of
fish and have produced numerous citations over
the years. I have personally caught bass
up to 81/2 lbs and have seen citation crappie
and chain pickerel pulled from these waters.
I have several citations for
bass and other species. I am well schooled
in many lure presentations and techniques and
cater to my clients needs and enjoy educating
anglers.
If you enjoy fishing in the
colder months, the "hot" side of Lake Anna is
the spot! The water temperature coming out
of the power plant stays around 55-60°F even in
very cold weather. When the cold side is
mostly frozen. The bass and crappie
usually spawn at least a 1-2 months earlier than
other bodies of water. When the lake first
opened it was stocked with Florida strain bass
but unbeknownst to most people they were only
stocked on the "hot" side of the Lake. The
above picture shows a 4 1/2 lb bass caught on the
hot side last winter. You can see the snow
on the ground, the air temperature was 30°F.
I look forward to providing you with a good time
and catching some fish.
