Largemouth Bass

If you're looking for Largemouth Bass in the Lexington, Virginia area, you'll find promising opportunities in the Maury River and nearby smaller lakes and ponds. The James River, a short drive away, is also well-known for its bass fishing. Spring and fall are prime times, as the bass are actively feeding during these periods. Look for structure like fallen trees, rocky outcroppings, and weed beds, as these are typical ambush points for largemouth. A local tip: The upper reaches of the Maury, accessible from various points along Route 11, can be productive, especially after a period of stable water levels. Be aware that the river can be rocky and wading may be necessary in some areas. The bass in this region tend to be relatively wary, so using natural-looking presentations and lighter line can increase your success.
