Carp
Carp fishing near Monterey, Virginia, presents a unique opportunity for anglers seeking a challenging and often overlooked species. While not as commonly targeted as other fish, carp can be found in the Cowpasture River and some of the larger ponds in the area. Spring and early summer are excellent times to target carp, as they become more active and move into shallower waters to spawn. Pre-baiting an area with corn or other attractants can significantly increase your chances of success. A local tip: focus on areas with slower currents and plenty of vegetation. Also, be prepared for a long fight, as carp are known for their strength and stamina. The carp in this region may not be as large as those found in some of the larger reservoirs, but they still offer a thrilling experience for anglers who appreciate a good challenge. Use heavier tackle than you would for other panfish, and be patient.
