Fishing information for Lake Gaston and other Virginia fishing spots.
Lake Gaston covers over 20,000 acres and includes 350 miles of shoreline. It offers excellent fishing, wildlife viewing, and recreational boating opportunities. Lake Gaston is heavily developed, with over 150,000 residents, and it can get crowded on weekend afternoons. However, anglers can usually find some peaceful fishing for a few hours in the mornings even on busy weekends. Unlike some large reservoirs devoid of visible structure, plentiful boat docks and aquatic vegetation (including hydrilla) allow newcomers to Gaston to start fishing right away without spending hours or even days looking for submerged fish-holding structure. Fish species include largemouth bass, striped bass, crappie, walleye, channel catfish, blue catfish, bluegill, and chain pickerel.
