Eades Pond Fishing near Matoaca, Virginia

• Overview

  Eades Pond lies in Dinwiddie County, in Virginia. Land around it is dry hill. It covers about 8 acres, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. Our Dinwiddie County list holds plenty of bigger water. Matoaca lies 12 miles from the water. Ettrick is 15 miles and Woodlake 15 miles. A border sits close enough to be relevant to the paperwork.

• Where to Fish on Eades Pond

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Fish documented in Dinwiddie County include Roanoke darter, tessellated darter, bluegill, glassy darter and chainback darter. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. On Eades Pond the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 77°F, while January sits near 37°F. No part of the year shuts this water. Shade and hour of day matter more than month. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. Expect Eades Pond to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. Bluegill and other panfish take small jigs or worms under a float near any cover. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. If the gate is shut, Lake Chesdin at 5.1 miles is the nearest alternative. Treat Eades Pond as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
