Fish Virginia First Trail

Virginia has plenty of lakes, rivers and streams, and where you have waterways, you have fish. And where you have fish, you have people who love to fish. That's why DCR partnered with Fish Virginia First, an online tool that connects anglers to places where they can land the fish of their dreams.

Visit the Fish Virginia First website website to find the perfect fishing destination. Learn about Virginia's fish, read about the commonwealth's scenic waterways and find fishing events to suit your wishes. There's information just for the kids, and you can test your fish knowledge by playing an online fish flips game.
