Art Conway (804-514-1486) out of Ed Allen’s Boats and Bait reported that
Chickahominy Lake mid-day surface water was in the lower 50’s in the
lower region of the lake and a little lower in the middle region of the
lake on Wednesday (11/27/2024). The lake level was about even with the
top of the dam. The water was medium brown, clear at the surface,
slightly to moderately cloudy at 1 to 2 feet, and quite murky below 3
feet due to an apparent layer of suspended microscopic algae.

A few small blue cats, channel cats, and bullheads have been scattered
on flats, along drop-offs, and in channels in the main lake, and when
active have been hitting live minnows and cut bait. Most crappies have
moved off into the channels and were not very active, but a few hit live
minnows or small blade baits. A few white perch have been scattered or
in loose aggregates on channel edges and in channels in the main lake,
and when active have been hitting small baits including live minnows,
Gulp minnows and fry, and blade baits. Bluegills have apparently moved
into deep areas in channels and were inactive. Some pickerel and
largemouth bass have been on deep flats and channels in the main lake
and have been hitting live minnows, swim baits, and blade baits.

Fishing with Art Conway, Sandra Rothrock had 4 crappies, 2 blue cats,
and 1 largemouth bass.
