Carp
Carp fishing around Marion, Virginia, offers a relaxing and often productive angling experience. The Holston River and its tributaries provide ample habitat for carp to thrive. These fish can grow to impressive sizes, offering a good fight for anglers of all skill levels. The best time to target carp is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, when they are most active. Pre-baiting your fishing spot with corn or boilies for a few days can significantly increase your chances of success. Look for areas with slow-moving water, such as backwaters and eddies, where carp tend to congregate. A simple hair rig with a kernel of corn or a boilie is a popular and effective presentation. Be patient, as carp fishing often requires waiting for a bite, but the reward of landing a large carp is well worth the effort. Public access points along the Holston River are readily available, making it easy to find a suitable fishing spot.
