Lake Landor Fishing in Caroline County, Virginia

• Overview

  You will find Lake Landor in Caroline County, Virginia. The country here is mixed woodland. It runs to roughly 90 acres — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. There is roughly 2.2 miles of shoreline here, which is a short walk end to end. Few waters listed in Caroline County are bigger. Bowling Green lies 12 miles from the water. It is 33 miles to Richmond, the nearest city. The county line runs close by, so rules can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Lake Landor

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Across Caroline County, recorded fish include tessellated darter, bluegill, shield darter and redbreast sunfish. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. Lake Landor gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 77°F in July and bottom out at 35°F in January. The year turns gently, without extremes at either end. Hard water here is never dependable, so check for yourself before stepping out. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. Expect Lake Landor to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. For a change of water, Lake Dover is 0.9 miles distant.
