July 2021 Fishing Report

In this month’s fishing report we highlight techniques for targeting quality largemouth bass on tidal systems such as the Chickahominy River.

Learn how to approach tidal largemouth fisheries with a variety of techniques to find success even in late summer. Dr. Mike Bednarksi, DWR’s Chief of Fisheries, shares his knowledge on how to fish through the tides. Mike explains how fish orient to structure on falling and rising tides and how you need to position yourself for success! As an added bonus we show off the first ever state record archery goldfish.
