Has anyone on this site fished at the Big Pine trout farm in New Castle, VA I'm am going down there in Feb. and want to know what size fish i expect to catch, so i have the right gear. well thanks for info you folks can give me.

The fish are usually between 3-6 lbs. Brooks, Browns, Rainbows and golds I had a blast when i went last year. I had a lot of success with a smaller spinning reel on a 8 foot fly pole. I used size 6 hooks and live minnows.

good luck

I just called a buddy of mine and he said the fish aren't quite as heavy as they used to be... somewhere between 2-4 pounds now... but who knows that ol' guy probably has a few bruisers he puts in there when no one is looking... by the way i forgot to mention in my last post i was using 6 pound test line... good luck and good fishing

Thanks for all the info, i'm a big fly fishermen so i will probably use my fly rod most of the time, but i will take spin tackle also in case they are too big for my light fly rod.
