Largemouth Bass
Toms Brook, Virginia, offers some excellent largemouth bass fishing opportunities in the Shenandoah River and nearby smaller impoundments. While not a trophy bass destination, the river's structure—fallen trees, rock ledges, and weed beds—provides ample habitat for bass in the 1-4 pound range. Spring and fall are prime times, as the bass move into shallower water to spawn or feed before winter. For river access, consider the numerous public access points along Route 11, but be prepared for wading as boat access is limited in some areas. Local tip: Soft plastic worms in natural colors, fished slowly along the bottom near cover, are consistently effective. The bass here can be pressured, so a stealthy approach is key.
