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.
