• Surface Area: 845 Acres Impounded in 1986, Briery Creek Lake was stocked with Florida- and northern-Largemouth Bass, Bluegill, Redear Sunfish (aka Shellcrackers), Channel Catfish, and Crappie. As part of the lake project plan, the treatment of timber at the original flooding of Briery Creek Lake has been a significant and enduring factor in the continuing success of the fisheries there. Trees were left standing or drum-chopped, leading to the development of flourishing and extensive aquatic vegetation structures. “VDGIF biologists were correct in believing that the presence of Florida largemouth bass and the complex habitat would produce a high quality largemouth bass fishery”. - The Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, Briery Creek WMA Sound project planning and continuing quality management of Briery Creek Lake has resulted in consistently abundant, well-balanced fish populations. ”Historically, this land was farmed for tobacco and corn and for a number of years experienced significant soil erosion. More recently landowners have timbered much of the land surrounding the lake. Some of these areas now contained stand of mixed hardwoods, while other areas formerly owned by forest industry contain pure stands of loblolly pines.” - The Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, Briery Creek WMA |
