Without a dependable size figure for Chickahominy Reservoir, weeds, rock, water color, and nearby depth are the best starting clues.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Chickahominy Reservoir include Black Crappie, Brown Bullhead, Brown Trout, Largemouth Bass, Redside Shiner, Smallmouth Bass, and Tui Chub.
During a bright afternoon near a small drop where food is present, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops for black crappie.
During the first hour near the mouth of a pocket with a moving bait, drag a tube or Ned rig across rock and the hard edge of a point for smallmouth bass.
During the first pass near a rocky edge while the water is falling, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During the first pass near a protected point away from empty shoreline, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a check of nearby water near the mouth of a pocket after warm rain, Other targets listed here include Brown Trout; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
During a methodical search near a channel bend near visible bait, Rainbow Trout have also been stocked here; that proves fish were released, but it does not promise that they are still common or easy to catch.
How to Read the Water
During a bright afternoon near an open-water edge near firm bottom, Make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.
Season by Season
During the first pass near a small drop before changing depth, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.
A Simple Tackle Plan
During a cold winter outing near a protected point beside useful cover, a light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control.
During a careful second pass near a rocky edge near visible bait, record the wind, water color, depth that produced twice, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce.
