Lake Moomaw is a reservoir in Virginia, near Bath County.
Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.
Lake Moomaw combines a real lake-trout fishery for brown and rainbow trout with warmwater bass and panfish fishing. Here, 'trout fishing' means fishing the reservoir itself, not just the Jackson River below the dam. Wooded shorelines and deep water make it a different trip from a developed dock-lined lake.
Try rock near Coles Point and above McClintic Point for smallmouth. Largemouth use shallower flats around Greenwood Point and the central islands. Trout follow alewives and suitable cold, oxygenated water; trolling or fishing bait at the right depth is more useful than dropping it to the deepest bottom. In late winter and early spring, trout can feed in roughly 15 to 20 feet.
Bolar Mountain and Coles Point provide established lake access, with camping concentrated at designated recreation areas. McClintic Point and Greenwood Point offer different overnight arrangements, so choose the actual campground before arriving. The undeveloped shore doesn't mean camping is allowed at every attractive bank.
The lake reaches about 152 feet deep and normally drops ten to 15 feet seasonally. Check the current level when choosing a ramp or a shallow fishing route. A protected paddle or time beside the wooded shore can fill out a trip, with fishing tackle ready for both trout and bass.
