New River - Claytor Lake Dam Tailwater
AI-suggested draft · review before you go
The tailwater section of the New River below Claytor Lake Dam is one of Virginia's premier trout fisheries, with cold, oxygenated releases supporting year-round trout populations. Rainbow and brown trout are stocked regularly and wild fish are present in the upper reaches. Fly anglers favor nymphing rigs and streamers in the deep runs below the dam.
