Nobody should miss fishing in the New River!
Regarded as one of the top smallmouth rivers in the country and, according to Bass Masters, one of the best fishing rivers in Virginia, the New River supports outstanding populations of just about every major freshwater game fish in the state: smallmouth bass, spotted bass, largemouth bass, rock bass, striped bass, white bass, hybrid striped bass, muskellunge, walleye, black crappie, channel catfish, flathead catfish, yellow perch, redbreast sunfish, and bluegill. Many of the state’s current record holders were caught in the New River, and there is potential to yield many more record-setting catches in the future due to trophy catch and release regulations set forth by the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries.
