Largemouth Bass
Troutville, Virginia, while known for its proximity to the Blue Ridge Mountains, also offers some decent largemouth bass fishing. Carvins Cove Reservoir, a short drive away, is the premier destination. This large reservoir provides diverse habitat, from submerged timber and rocky points to weed beds and coves. Spring is the peak season as bass move shallow to spawn, and the fall can be equally productive as they fatten up for winter. Summer can be tougher, but fishing early mornings or late evenings around deeper structure can yield results. Consider launching from the boat ramp off of Reservoir Road and exploring the upper reaches of the reservoir. Local anglers often have success with spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and Texas-rigged worms, adjusting presentations based on the season and water clarity. Be mindful of the reservoir's regulations regarding boat size and horsepower.
