Flooding at Lake Thomas and nearby lakes boosts fishing reports
Lake Thomas surged over its spillways for the first time in eight years with rapid rainfall in the Gail Fluvanna and Lamesa area. Docks, piers, and boats suffered damage while locals tracked shifting water levels and new fishing spots. Possum Kingdom Lake rose four feet with forecasts of a two and a half foot rise to handle runoff. Crappie and channel catfish were active on barges and in deeper waters as anglers adapted to the high, swift flows.
