We have plenty of bass, catfish, perch, sunfish and snakeheads in our creek, which used to be the Washington's fishery. I just throw them back.

Occoquan Reservoir. It's very large and feels very remote. There are houses along the shore, but many you cannot see because they are up on hills or obscured by all the trees. Tons of wildlife and very quiet. You can access it through either Fountainhead Park or a park in Lake Ridge. Both rent boats and have fishing piers.

Fishing can be tricky here because of its size and it deep depths. There are many places where the bottom slopes almost straight down from the shore. But it's a great place for largemouth bass, huge crappies, and catfish. It doesn't get a lot of pressure and it's large enough to be able to handle that pressure anyway.

I love it. It's such a quick trip to get there but it feels like you are miles away from the hectic life we all lead in this region.
