Walleye Fishing at Philpott Lake
by the Virginia DWR
Philpott Lake has one of the better walleye populations in Virginia. This fishery does not contain many large fish but does support good numbers. Most adult walleye average 17–21 inches. There is no or very limited natural reproduction of walleye so the population is sustained with approximately 144,000 annually stocked fingerlings. Walleye reach 18 inches at about three years of age and most male walleye grow very slowly after reaching this size. Female walleye typically grow well for another few years with some achieving larger sizes. Occasionally walleye are caught in the 6–8 pound range. Read more.....
