Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 14:20 hours of daylight. For shallow water fishing the twilight periods are often the most productive fishing times, especially on days when a major or minor time will coincide with twilight. In low light conditions predators have better cover for their ambush and often hunt in shallow water.

We can compare the current moon distance to it's minimum and maximum distance from earth and express that as proximity. A high proximity means the moon is closer to earth. At 50% it would be at it's mean distance. A high proximity causes big tides, currents and has a direct effect on increased bite times. A proximity greater than 90% indicates a super moon.

7 Day Fishing Weather

The weather plays an important role in fishing. Wind strenght and direction often determine where you can fish and where fish might be holding. Although high pressure is usually good for fishing, steep pressure changes often trigger feeding frenzies and are great times for fishing. Of course temperature has also a strong effect on fishing and comfort on the water. So make sure to cross check the weather forecast with the solunar fishing times to determine the best times to go fishing. The graph below shows you the 3 hourly weather progression over the next 7 days. Scroll the graph left or right to see more.

Fishing Overview Danville

Danville, VA fishing revolves around the Dan River corridor and a network of close-by lakes and reservoirs that collectively offer varied freshwater action. The Dan River itself flows right through town, giving easy access to current seams, rocky shoals and deep outside bends that hold bass, catfish and sunfish. Within an easy drive, anglers can tap into larger still waters for crappie, largemouth bass and the occasional striped bass or hybrid from regional impoundments.

Seasonal patterns on the Dan River are driven by water temperature and flow. In early spring, rising levels and slightly stained water push smallmouth and spotted bass up onto gravel bars and current breaks. Work 3–4 inch soft-plastic grubs, small swimbaits or ned rigs tight to eddies and behind boulders. As water warms into late spring and early summer, bass slide toward deeper ledges, bridge pilings and downstream ends of islands; crankbaits and medium-diving jerkbaits excel then. During summer lows, focus on early and late light windows, casting topwaters and finesse plastics into shaded banks and undercut roots.

Catfish fishing in Danville is reliable from late spring through fall. Channel and blue catfish concentrate in deeper outside bends, below small dams and around logjams. Cut shad, chicken liver, or prepared stink baits on slip-sinker rigs fished right on bottom are staples. At night, move closer to the bank and target gentle flats adjacent to deep holes, especially where a small creek or storm drain enters the river. Use heavier leaders around wood; the river’s snags can be unforgiving.

Sunfish and panfish provide steady action for shore anglers. Bluegill, redear and redbreast sunfish hug riprap, dock pilings and overhanging bushes from late spring through summer. A simple float-and-worm rig or small jig tipped with a piece of crawler catches numbers. Light spinning or spincast setups with 4–6 lb line let baits drift naturally along current breaks and eddies in town-accessible stretches.

Nearby still waters around Danville broaden your options. Regional reservoirs and city lakes typically hold largemouth bass, crappie and catfish. In spring, bass push into shallow coves with emergent vegetation and wood; pitch soft-plastic craws, weightless stickbaits or compact jigs to isolated cover. Crappie stage along channel edges and brush piles; small tube jigs and minnows under a slip float are go-to tactics. In summer, look for schooling bait over main-lake points and humps, and run crankbaits or drop small spoons vertically to marks on your electronics.

Trout opportunities exist within driving distance of Danville in stocked streams and designated trout waters. These are most productive from fall through early spring when water temperatures are cool. Ultralight spinning gear with small inline spinners, single-salmon-egg rigs, or 1/16 oz marabou jigs will cover most situations; focus on pools below riffles and undercut banks.

To fish Danville efficiently, pack versatile gear: a medium spinning combo for bass and cats, a light outfit for panfish and trout, and a small tackle box of jigs, soft plastics, hooks and bottom rigs. Pay close attention to water clarity and flow on the Dan River—scaling down line and lure size in clear, low water and upsizing in stained, high water is often the difference between slow days and steady action.
