there's a warm water discharge here from the water treatment facility, so overall the water here is warmer and attracts lots of fish during the colder months. lots of bass, snakeheads, carp, catfish, big sunfish. During the cold months, fish baits slowly or use drop shot or dead sticking methods for those stubborn bass. live bait does the trick too.

Over fished to many snags

Used to be an amazing spot but since that chemical spill they seem to be a lot more finicky.

Was a great spot for most species but since the pandemic began many more people have been fishing there so it has been harder to catch fish. Carp and bullhead catfish are still the easiest to catch

This is a fantastic spot if you know what you’re doing. Every fish in the NOVA area lives here, and at some point in the year can be caught. The toughest fish to catch here is largemouth bass, but even they become very active here prespawn. I’ve caught everything from 35 lb carp, to 18 inch stripers, to 25 lb catfish.

Really fun to catch catfish here there are 20+ pounders in here.

4 Mile was pretty good, however since Covid began it has become extremely pressured, with days where there are 20 anglers on the same 200 feet of shoreline, and another 20 or so across the stream. The fish have become very skittish and it’s increasingly rare to see anyone catch anything over 1lb. Not saying it can’t be done, but be prepared to put in long hours to find the one bass that won’t completely ignore the thousands of casts it sees every day. Also if you are under any of the overpasses beware of the idiots fishing from above throwing huge jerkbaits - I’ve seen two people on the ground now get hooked with a treble hook - nasty.

Live bait’s the way to go!

Lots of catfish a few large bass caught there in the last year from canoe. River otter sightings in the evening were a excellent surprise.

It has a warm water discharge so in the winter and late fall it’s a good spot. Summer fishing here from my experience is pretty bad. It is hard to navigate and a bit sketchy but I have pulled some 5-6 pound bass out of here

I go to four mile run for carp and it doesn’t disappoint, its great for fishing but not much else and it has a lot of snags. If you are experienced with the area then its amazing but beginners will probably get frustrated.
