Since when did you need a permit to fish there? And not many lily pads, if any there. That looked more like Bowler's Mill in Gordonsville.
Ruritan is only a good bass lake in winter and early spring. A lot of tiny Crappie, not even worth keeping. Had it's peak at least five years ago when numerous eight to nine pounders were caught.

Oh I didnt wait for the permit sales pitch at the end. Shameful!

Why is DWR putting a 50 acre pond on blast? People will see the emails and videos and flock to it. 50 acres cannot handle more then 2 anglers. Let the people who live in the same neighborhood as this pond enjoy it and stop advertising it.
