    The Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (VDGIF) annually stocks over 1.2 million trout into 500 miles of trout streams and raises 3 to 5 million warmwater fish for stocking in our other lakes and rivers. The Department owns and operates 39 public fishing lakes, 222 boat ramps and manages the fisheries in virtually all major fresh waters of the state. That's over 176,000 acres in lakes and ponds, over 25,000 miles of fishable warmwater streams and rivers, 3,300 miles of coldwater trout streams. If you have any questions or comments about fishing in Virginia, please email or call (804-367-0141) Brett Levin, the VDGIF Sportfishing Education Development Specialist.
