On this exciting episode of Fishing the DMV, I’m joined by Brian Boog, writer for Woods & Waters Magazine, as we explore the hidden bass fishing gems nestled within Virginia’s most historic region — Williamsburg, Jamestown, Yorktown, and Hampton.
While most visitors come for the history, savvy anglers know this area is surrounded by world-class fisheries that fly under the radar:
Little Creek Reservoir – This deep, electric-only lake offers a scenic and serene setting with trophy bass potential and limited fishing pressure.
Diascund Reservoir – One of the area’s crown jewels for serious bass anglers, known for its diverse structure, consistent action, and even bowfin surprises.
Waller Mill Reservoir – A quiet escape near Williamsburg with clear water and excellent structure for largemouth bass, bluegill, and crappie.
Lee Hall Reservoir – A sleeper spot with solid numbers of bass and panfish, tucked away in Newport News near Fort Eustis.
Harwood’s Mill Reservoir – Located in York County, this underfished reservoir offers both shoreline and kayak access with strong springtime bass bites.
Whether you’re a local or planning a visit, this episode highlights the incredible freshwater fishing opportunities just minutes from colonial battlegrounds and bayfront beaches. Don’t miss this deep dive into Virginia’s Tidal Triangle — where bass fishing meets American history.
