There are six fishing lakes on Quantico MCB, ranging in size from one to 477 acres. A base permit is required in addition to the proper state fishing license. The Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries and the U.S. Marine Corps cooperatively manage these lakes. Although an active military base owned by the Department of Defense, anglers properly licensed to fish Commonwealth waters need only a base permit (available for $5.00 from the Commanding General, NREA Branch-B046, 3250 Katlin Ave., Quantico, VA 22134-5001 or 703-784-5810) to fish Lunga and other MCBQ waters.

Fishing Description:

Lunga is known to have excellent populations of channel catfish and chain pickerel the latter of which are somewhat hard to find in District waters. Black crappie and white perch were also abundant, and anglers are encouraged to harvest white perch to prevent overpopulation. They are easily caught on a variety of baits and are active earlier in the season than many other species.

Largemouth bass are the primary species pursued by anglers visiting Smith Reservoir. The heaviest concentrations of bass seem to be concentrated on the creek arm adjacent to the main boat ramp/parking area.

Fishing Tips, Tactics, How-To info:

Black crappie were most abundant around brush piles, beaver lodges, or other types of woody structure.. Crappie can be successfully caught by a variety of methods ranging from small jigs, spinners, or flies fished with ultra light spinning gear or anglers may desire more traditional tactics such as fishing small minnows with a cane pole and bobber. Remember that crappies are a schooling fish, and once a fish is caught it is likely that several more will be caught with in close proximity.

Boat Ramp:

Two boat ramps and parking areas are available from the Quantico MCB property.

Other:

Anglers should note that a Quantico MCB fishing permit is required to access Smith Reservoir. MCB regulations and fishing permits are available from the game check station on post.
