Chickahominy is less than half full right now, and boat ramp and dock are in great shape. There is a prolific algae bloom in the reservoir, which can be toxic at times. Avoid swimming and keep your pets out of the water if you observe blue green algae stains on the shoreline.

There are some nice holdover trout in Chickahominy up to 20 inches and fishing has been great so far this fall.

Fly-anglers have been having success with leach patterns, various nymphs, and streamers fished under an indicator or stripped in.

Fishing from shore using putty bait also has been effective. Artificial lures including spinners and crankbaits have also been effective.
