Pebblebrook Lake Fishing Guide, Hanover County, Virginia

• Overview

  Pebblebrook Lake lies within the bounds of Hanover County, Virginia. The surface lies 174 feet up. This is a pocket water of some 14 acres, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. 5.1 miles away sits Mechanicsville, the nearest town. It is 11 miles to Richmond, the nearest city. The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Pebblebrook Lake

  Our records hold no depth for this water. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Reported across Hanover County: bluegill, redbreast sunfish, tessellated darter and warmouth. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Pebblebrook Lake fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put July at about 78°F and January near 36°F. Winter is the comfortable season here rather than the difficult one. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Pebblebrook Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. There is no mapped parking or launch close by, which usually means walking in. For the catfish, fish bottom baits into the deeper holes and let them sit. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Colonial Forest Lake sits 1.6 miles off and takes the overflow. None of that is settled for Pebblebrook Lake in what we hold.
