Beaverdam Creek, Virginia: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Beaverdam Creek falls in City of Newport News, part of Virginia. The bank is 26 feet above sea level. It lies lower than most water we list in Virginia. 5 miles away sits Gloucester Point, the nearest town. It is 15 miles to Hampton, the nearest city. The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Beaverdam Creek

  Our records hold no depth for this water. Gravel runs and silted pools fish quite differently, so treat them apart. After rain the colour clears from the surface first, so fish the edges. Open biodiversity records for City of Newport News list bluegill, common carp and koi. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. Beaverdam Creek gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 78°F, with January the cold end at about 39°F. It fishes twelve months of the year. October and November give a second good stretch as it cools. Late winter often fishes better here than midsummer does. Time your trip to Beaverdam Creek by conditions rather than dates.
