Biologists with the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries spend a great deal of time managing large impoundments in Virginia. The species diversity and size of these large systems provide ample opportunities for Virginia anglers to enjoy a day spent fishing. The fish species most often targeted by Virginians is the largemouth bass. We spend a great amount of effort trying to provide the best quality fishery we possibly can by monitoring population health and setting regulations to both protect the fish population and to provide the best angling experience that we can. The following reports provide information on what anglers can expect from various fisheries in Virginia reservoirs and also provide information on largemouth bass population statistics in various large and small impoundments throughout the state.
