    Big Bethel Reservoir?

    Where can I find information on fishing big bethel? It is not listed on the VA wildlife site (https://www.dgif.virginia.gov/lakes/) and I am wondering if I can launch my bass boat on it as long as I only use the trolling motor. Thanks.

    I don't remember if they will let you launch with a gas motor on the boat or not....been a few years.

    Thanks for the link. I was able to track down their phone number and hopefully will be able to speak to someone soon. I'll post what I find.

    You can launch there and it will be tight, there is a $5 drop box at the ramp. We fish with motors on the back all the time.

    It's not that hard to launch there fish there all the time. We have Wednesday night tourneys there all through the summer usually starting around the end of march. Usually around 8-14 boats . Good bunch of guys. 3 hour tourney and them boys can catch them. 3 fish limit.
