Fishing the Chickahominy

The Chickahominy’s broad expanses of open marshes, cypress tree shorelines, and many fish species offer anglers ideal tidal river fishing. A nationally recognized largemouth bass fishery promises excellent bass fishing, with catch rates typically topping those of all other tidal rivers in Virginia.
