    Default Anyone fish Gatewood Reservoir?


    Anyone fish Gatewood Reservoir? I was wondering how good the current sunfish population is up the there? I have never fished it even though I used to go to college at Radford University. My dad and I fished Rural Retreat last Monday and I caught 162 fish of which 5 would have been big enough to ride home. I am trying to find somewhere that has some bigger sunfish in it for some table fare. Just curious if Gatewood is still a good body of water for larger sunfish. Any help or suggestions on where to go would be helpful.

    Fished Gatewood in the early 70's & the fishing was great back then.. I think the state record Bluegill was from Gatewood back then..Have only been twice in the last few years with very little success.

    I was afraid of that... I’m looking for a good smaller lake to fish with trolling motor only... doesn’t seem to be much down this way... thank you for responding... what about Hidden Valley Lake?
