Woodberry Pond, Virginia: Fishing Spots and Seasons

Supplies mean a trip to Midlothian, 8.9 miles off. It is 17 miles to Richmond, the nearest city. A county line runs close by, so local bylaws can differ within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Woodberry Pond

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Open biodiversity records for Powhatan County list tessellated darter, bluegill, smallmouth bass, redbreast sunfish and channel catfish. The county list is broader than any single water. Fish Woodberry Pond to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. For a change of water, Lower Byers Lake is 2.3 miles distant.
