Claytor Lake is a 4,500-acre impoundment on the New River in Pulaski County and is one of Virginia's premier bass and walleye fisheries. The lake features diverse structure including rocky points, creek arms, and submerged timber that hold largemouth and smallmouth bass throughout the season. Walleye fishing is particularly productive in spring near the dam and rocky shorelines.
