Seasonal Activity Chart
Carp
Carp fishing around Hinton, West Virginia, offers a unique angling experience, particularly in the New River and Bluestone Lake. While not traditionally targeted by all anglers, the carp population here is healthy and can provide a real challenge. The warmer months, from late spring through summer, are ideal for carp fishing, as they are most active in warmer water. The New River offers plenty of bank fishing access, and carp can often be found in slower-moving sections near vegetation or submerged structure. Corn, boilies, and dough baits are effective choices. For Bluestone Lake, focus on areas near inlets or where the river flows into the lake. Local tip: Pre-baiting a spot for a few days can significantly increase your chances of success. Also, be prepared for a fight – carp in these waters can grow to impressive sizes. The New River carp, in particular, are known for their strength and stamina.
