Carp
If you're a carp angler, Stony Creek, Virginia, and the surrounding Nottoway River watershed offer some excellent opportunities to target these often-overlooked fish. The Nottoway, with its slow-moving currents and abundant vegetation, provides a perfect habitat for carp. Spring and early summer are particularly productive, as carp congregate in shallow areas to spawn. For bank fishing, look for areas with easy access to the river and plenty of vegetation along the banks. A common tactic is to pre-bait an area with corn or boilies for a few days before fishing. A local tip is to use a hair rig with a small, strong hook, as carp can be surprisingly finicky. The carp in this area are known to grow to impressive sizes, with fish over 20 pounds being relatively common. Be prepared for a good fight, as these fish are powerful and can put up a serious battle.
