    Any hidden gem lakes I should know about around Leesburg?

    I've been fishing the Harris Chain but nothing exciting and I don't fish tournaments here so I don't have a reason to grind it out on the Chain. Any hidden gems within an hour worth the drive? Send me a private message if that works better.

    I guarantee posting it on here SURLY WONT help to keep it a hidden gem, matter of fact its kind of an oxymoron question in the fact that the question in of its self will do nothing but to expose and ruin something that might be hidden and kept out of the public eye.

    That's why I suggested a private message may work better.

    Me and a buddy went to Lake Deaton the Saturday after Thanksgiving.

    There were a handful of boats on the lake and a line of people fishing at the pier/dock.

    It may be becoming more popular.

    Wishin' I was fishin'...

    These posts can really destroy lakes in no time.
