Davenport Pond, Virginia: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Within Amelia County, Virginia, you have Davenport Pond. The shore lies 36 miles out. About 13 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Amelia County. Start from Amelia Court House, 5 miles down the road. Then Crewe, 13 miles, and Blackstone, 14 miles. Two sets of local rules meet not far from this water.

• Where to Fish on Davenport Pond

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Open biodiversity records for Amelia County list tessellated darter, black crappie and bluegill. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. Treat Davenport Pond as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 77°F on average, January about 36°F. There is no frozen season to plan round. Late winter and spring fish steadiest here. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. The season on Davenport Pond rarely departs from it. A settled week fishes better than a changeable one.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. For the panfish, a small hook, a float and a piece of worm outfish everything fancy. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Should this one be busy, Owenbys Lake is 2.4 miles off. Check the position at Davenport Pond before loading the car.
