Carp
Carp fishing in Pearisburg, Virginia, offers a chance to tangle with some surprisingly large fish in the New River. While not a traditional target for many anglers, the river holds a healthy population of common carp. Spring and fall are excellent times to target them, as they become more active in cooler water temperatures. Pre-baiting an area with corn or boilies can significantly increase your chances of success. Look for carp in slower-moving sections of the river, near structure like submerged trees or weed beds. A simple hair rig with a boilie or a kernel of corn is a proven method. Be prepared for a strong fight, as these fish can pull hard. Public access points along the New River Water Trail provide good bank fishing opportunities. Respect the environment and pack out all trash, as carp fishing often involves using bait that can attract other wildlife.
