Overview:

Located near Farmville, VA in Prince Edward County Briery Creek Lake

is one of the top trophy bass lakes in the state. In 2008 alone 44

Largemouth Bass Citations were issued on bass caught in the lake. The

largest being over 12 pounds tells you this is a quality fishery. The

lake was actually stocked with Florida-strain bass in an effort to increase

trophy performance and it seems to be working. The lake does have some

shore fishing opportunities and bathroom facilities. A handicapped

assessable fishing pier is also available for fishing.

Note that there is a 14-24 inch protected slot limit, which means no bass

may be kept if they fall under that slot. Also only one bass longer than

24 inches may be retained. Unless you need to feed your family, lets keep

these bass in the lake!
