Carp
Carp anglers, Radford might just surprise you. The New River, flowing right through town, holds a healthy population of carp that are often overlooked. These fish can get quite large, offering a serious challenge for anglers of all skill levels. The best time to target carp here is late spring through early fall when the water is warmer. Pre-baiting your chosen swim with corn or boilies can significantly increase your chances of success. Focus on slower-moving sections of the river, especially near bridge pilings or areas with submerged structure. A hair rig with a boilie or corn kernel is a popular and effective method. Be prepared for a fight – these New River carp are strong! Public access is available along Route 114, but be mindful of private property. Also, consider using a heavier test line and a larger net, as some of these fish can easily exceed 20 pounds.
