Lake Gaston In Virginia

Boating, camping and fishing.

This popular boating lake, Lake Gaston is a 20,000-acre lake on the southern border of the state, at Gasburg, VA. Boat docks, creek channels and areas with aquatic vegetation are the primary targets for locating fish. Well known for big blue catfish, the lake also has nice schools of bass, crappie, walleye, stripers, white bass and chain pickerel. And there's 350 miles of shoreline for fishing enthusiasts to explore. Some VA fishing guides offer catfish, bass and striper guide trips on Lake Gaston. Catch a bunch of fish for a fish fry, or go in search of monster catfish, either way this is a great destination for anglers.
