Kerr Lake is ranked the largest lake, but it lies in both Virginia and North Carolina. Overall, the lake measures 17 miles long with about 200 miles of shoreline. This shoreline is divided into public and private sectors, with the latter being closed off to commercial operation and available only to private residents. With this division, boats on one side cannot cross over to the other. If you\u2019re not a private resident, you\u2019re still in luck.

Besides largemouth bass, crappie and stripers are the most popular catches on this lake, and many anglers come to Lake Anna specifically to reel in a bass. About 99% of fishing on Lake Anna is catch and release, but if you want to take one home for the grill, you\u2019ll need to meet the minimum size requirement.
