Carp
Carp fishing around Glade Spring, Virginia, might not be the first thing that comes to mind, but local lakes and rivers offer some surprising opportunities. The Holston River, particularly the South Fork, holds a decent population of carp that can provide a challenging and rewarding angling experience. Focus on slower-moving sections of the river with soft, muddy bottoms. Pre-baiting is key. Corn, boilies, or even bread can be effective. Spring and summer are the most productive times, as the carp are more active in warmer water. Additionally, some of the smaller lakes around Glade Spring, like those found in local parks, can also hold carp. Remember to check local regulations regarding bait restrictions and access points. Patience is key when carp fishing, but the reward of landing a large river carp is well worth the wait.
