Anglers ALERT: Big Changes Coming to Smith Mountain Lake (Public Meeting Info)
In today’s episode of Fishing the DMV, we’re breaking down one of the hottest topics in Virginia fishing right now — aquatic vegetation (hydrilla/SAV) at Smith Mountain Lake and what it means for anglers, guides, and local businesses.
For some, grass is a game-changer that improves habitat and fishing. For others, it raises concerns. So what’s the right balance?
TLAC recently met with guides, business owners, and anglers to start the conversation, and now there’s a public meeting where YOUR voice matters. The goal isn’t conflict — it’s collaboration. Show up informed, ready to listen, and ready to help shape a plan that protects both the fishery and the fishing community.
