About Appomattox River

As a river in Virginia, United States, Appomattox River fishes best when the flow is steady and the water is clear enough to see a foot or two down. Anglers who do well at Appomattox River pay attention to small things: the angle of the current, the colour of the water, what's hatching, where the wading birds are working. Fly anglers can match local insect activity; spin anglers can run small spinners or soft plastics through the same lies.

Fishing Techniques

  • For Largemouth bass

    Vary your retrieve speed and lure presentation until you find what the bass are keying on, as their preferences can change daily based on weather and water conditions.

  • For Fallfish

    Fallfish often school, so if you catch one, work that area thoroughly; they are opportunistic feeders.

  • For Blue catfish

    Target areas with current breaks and structure, like submerged timber or ledges, as blue catfish often ambush prey in these locations. Use a fish finder to locate schools of baitfish, as blue catfish are likely to be nearby.
