Gregorys Pond, Virginia: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Gregorys Pond stands in Chesterfield County, Virginia. Tidal water begins 18 miles from here. With some 46 acres of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. On our Chesterfield County list it sits near the top for size. Brandermill lies 4.7 miles from the water. After that come Bon Air at 5 miles and Meadowbrook at 5.2 miles. A border sits close enough to be relevant to the paperwork.

• Where to Fish on Gregorys Pond

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. Across Chesterfield County, recorded fish include bluegill, redbreast sunfish and flathead catfish. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. The shape of Gregorys Pond rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 78°F and January near 37°F on the long-run figures. Warm months push fish deep; cool months bring them back. The first and last hours carry the summer; the middle is slow. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. Anyone fishing Gregorys Pond regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. Recorded parking is half a mile off, far enough to travel light. There is a toilet block some half a mile out. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. If the gate is shut, Lower Beaver Pond at 0.3 miles is the nearest alternative. Ask locally about Gregorys Pond if anything is unclear.
