Fishing at Smith Mountain Lake

Fishing

Outdoor AdventuresSerious fishermen pull some trophy-sized bass from Smith Mountain Lake. You can, too. Local guides and outfitters who know all the best places to cast a reel are ready to show you and your family how to catch the big one. In addition to Smith Mountain Lake, Carvins Cove and the Roanoke Valley's many rivers and streams offer great fishing for trout, muskie, crappie and more. You just might leave the Roanoke Valley in Virginia's Blue Ridge with some great fish stories, but your tales can be true.
