What are good Crappie fishing lakes or rivers near Warrenton? My husband (Terry) is building a Taco Bell up here so we will be here another month or so.
Thanks in advance,

Not familiar with fishing in that area, Ginny, but almost straight south, about 60 miles away is Lake Anna, good fishing for crappie, stripers, LMB, etc.
Buggs Island or Kerr,same lake,is good on Va side,Rudds creek or Grassy creek, Rudds is about 25 to 30 miles from Warrenton. I Sam camping at Grassy creek right now and in 2 or 3 weeks will be at Rudds, I am taking treatment now 5 days a week but found out today that I don,t have to leave till 2:30 each day,give me a call and I will be glad to carry you out ,but it is a different style of fishing than Fla. but I have plenty of equipment. 252-578-7558 do not have good service on phone so may have to call more than once you can text my wife at 252 5785104
Ok I heard about Lake Anna from some people I met and was wondering if that was a good one.Quote:

Good luck with the Dr update tomorrow.

There is a Warrenton, VA and a Warrenton, NC. Both towns are in the northern part of their respective states. I noticed that the replies mentioned fishing waters nearby for both places, so you are covered either way.
Since it was posted on the Virginia board, I assumed it was Warrenton, Virginia and didn't even think of Warrenton, NC???
Hey Terry and Jinny, you hook up with Gene and he will show you where to catch them at Buggs Island. I live about 135 miles from there and may be going there with Eileen this week around Thursday to meet up with Gene and Elaine. If your going to go there this Thursday or Friday let me know and maybe we could hook up, but Gene is the man at Buggs.
Assuming we're talking about Warrenton, VA, you aren't far from the Occoquan Reservoir (near Manassas) or Lake Anna (about an hour south of Warrenton.) Lake Anna is much bigger, but we get occasional reports about both of these fisheries.Quote:

If you'd rather explore some of the numerous small lakes and reservoirs closer to Warrenton, DGIF posts complete listing of all public lakes, here. There's also a link on that page to a statewide list of public launch points on all of Virginia's rivers.

He really only gets Sunday off because Warrenton does not allow construction on Sundays. If anything changes and he can muster a day off during the week we would gladly make the trip to go fishing with you and Eilieen or Gene and Elaine. Thanks so much for the offer!
