Carp
Carp anglers visiting Williamsburg, Virginia, should explore the region's many freshwater ponds and lakes. While not a widely targeted species locally, carp thrive in these waters, often reaching impressive sizes. Waller Mill Reservoir is a good place to start. Spring and early summer, during the pre-spawn and spawn, are particularly productive. Chumming with corn or boilies can draw carp into your fishing area. A local secret is to pre-bait your spot for a few days before you plan to fish. Another tip: carp in this area can be quite wary, so using lighter lines and smaller hooks can increase your success. Look for areas with vegetation or submerged structure, as carp often congregate in these spots. While you might not find the same pressure as you would for other species, the carp fishing in Williamsburg can be surprisingly rewarding.
