• Where to Fish on Upper Lake Bexley

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Public occurrence data for Chesterfield County names bluegill, redbreast sunfish, flathead catfish and green sunfish. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. Take Upper Lake Bexley a stretch at a time.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Lower Beaver Pond at 0.4 miles is the sensible second choice. Nothing here settles the position at Upper Lake Bexley for certain.
