Fishing Bryant Pond in Henrico County, Virginia

• Overview

  This water sits in Henrico County, Virginia. It lies 220 feet above sea level. The water measures roughly 6 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else.

Also worth knowing: Shadow Pond roughly 0.6 miles, Cherokee Lake (1.6 miles), Westhampton Lake roughly 1.8 miles, Duval Pond (2.3 miles) and Reed Pond roughly 2.9 miles.

• Where to Fish on Bryant Pond

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Public occurrence data for Henrico County names bluegill, redbreast sunfish, green sunfish, flathead catfish and blue catfish. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. Take Bryant Pond a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 78°F and January reads 37°F. Heat sets the pattern from late spring onward. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to be out. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. Expect Bryant Pond to follow that timing. A steady wind fishes better than a still, bright day.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. The nearest car park we can see is half a mile out, so expect a walk with your gear. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Shadow Pond, 0.6 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. What applies at Bryant Pond may have changed since it was mapped.
