Lake Conner is a 100-acre impoundment in Halifax County, Virginia. The lake is owned and managed by the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. Located in rural Southside Virginia, Lake Conner offers anglers great fishing opportunities in a picturesque, wooded setting. However, Lake Conner is best known for holding the state record largemouth bass (16 pounds, 4 ounces) since 1985.

Anglers fishing Lake Conner are likely to catch largemouth bass, channel catfish, black crappie, bluegill, redear sunfish, chain pickerel, yellow perch, and bullhead catfish. Largemouth bass harvest is regulated with a “trophy slot limit” of 16-22 inches to try and maintain citation-sized bass in the lake. Expert anglers pursuing trophy bass will be challenged at Lake Conner, but the lake is also well suited for beginning anglers who are interested in catching fish that aren’t necessarily trophies.
