Lake Gaston was built for flood control, hydroelectric power and recreational enjoyment, including activities such as fishing, boating, swimming, water skiing and wakeboarding. Lake Gaston is fed by water from Kerr Lake upstream, and supplies water to Roanoke Rapids Lake downstream, a smaller predecessor to Lake Gaston. Part of the lake is in the North Carolina counties of Halifax, Northampton, and Warren. The part extending into Virginia lies in Brunswick and Mecklenburg counties.
Lake Gaston has an excellent largemouth bass population. Many anglers like to fish the aquatic vegetation for largemouth bass. Boat docks also are likely places to catch largemouth bass. Striped bass, which are stocked by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, continue to produce a number of quality-sized fish. Striper fishing in the tail waters below Kerr Dam is an annual event. The Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (VDGIF) annually stock walleyes, and the best fishing is usually in the upper end during February and March. Lake Gaston also contains channel catfish, blue catfish, chain pickerel, and bluegill.

We do offer fishing poles for use during your stay, all other fishing gear woud need to be provided by you.
You can fish right of the dock, or off of the peninsula

Fishing is one of America's favorite pastimes. These are memories you will never forget! Catfishing has become extremely popular over the years for a reason. These fish can grow to enormous size and are very strong, providing anyone who catches them a great time!
Our guides have spent a great deal of time studying the patterns of these catfish to provide you with an awesome catfishing experience regardless of the time of year. Any day of the year is a great time to catch a monster catfish! We will be more than happy to explain to you what we are doing and why to help you improve your catfishing skills!
Blues Brothers Guide Service now holds two North Carolina state records for largest blue catfish. The first record was 91 pounds which was set on December 20, 2015 and then broke that record again with a 105 pound monster the following day, December 21, 2015. Both state records were caught within an 18 hour period of each other as well. We've also landed numerous other fish in excess of 80 and 90 pounds, which also rank among the top Blue Catfish catches in the history of N.C. Come try your luck and see if we can put you on a record fish!
Our guide service promotes the practice of C.P.R. (Catch. Photo. Release.) We release all catfish over 15 pounds to help preserve the sport for generations to come. Of course if you are wanting to take a few smaller fish home to eat you are welcome to!
Book a trip with us today and come experience the amazing catfishing that Lake Gaston has to offer and have a great time you will always remember! We look forward to spending the day with you!
