Smallmouth River

This river has been managed as a trophy smallmouth fishery for the last 20 years by the State of Virginia. Current regulations only allow anglers to keep one fish per day which must be in excess of 20". Although this is the smaller of the two fisheries, this little-known freestone gem is home to high quality smallmouth bass. The river can be low and very clear at times, which can present a real angling challenge, but for those up to the task, a 4 to 5 pound smallmouth is often the reward.

This tailwater smallmouth fishery offers anglers year round fishing on some of the most diverse smallmouth water you’ll find on the East or out West. Everything from limestone ledge rock to half-mile long grass flats can be found on this float. This trip is a must for beginners as well as the hard core smallmouth anglers. At first glance, anglers will be surprised at the size of this water.

At 200 yards average width, it is one of the largest smallmouth rivers you will find in the Southeast. Due to the limited access on this river, anglers should be prepared for a 10+ hour day of fishing.

Rates are $350.00 for one or two anglers.
