Bluegill
For bluegill action near New Castle, Virginia, focus on the smaller, quieter waters that dot the landscape. Local ponds and farm ponds, as well as backwaters of Craig Creek, are your best bet. These offer the shallow, sun-warmed environments bluegill love. Spring and early summer, during the spawning season, are incredibly productive. Look for bluegill beds in shallow, protected areas. Small crickets or worms fished under a bobber are classic and effective. Consider using a small fly rod with poppers near dawn or dusk for some exciting topwater action. Many of these ponds are on private land, so always seek permission before fishing. If you can't get access to private ponds, try the public areas around Potts Mountain Reservoir. Bluegill in this region are known for their willingness to bite, making it a great place to introduce kids to fishing. Expect to catch a good number of fish, though trophy-sized bluegill are less common.
