Carp
If you're looking for a carp challenge in West Virginia, Lumberport offers some surprisingly good opportunities. The West Fork River, which flows near Lumberport, holds a healthy population of common carp. These fish can get quite large, often exceeding 20 pounds, and provide a great fight. Spring and early summer are prime times, as the carp move into shallower areas to spawn. Pre-baiting a spot with corn or boilies for a few days beforehand can significantly increase your chances of success. Public access to the river is available at several points along Route 50, but be prepared for some bank fishing as boat access is limited in some areas. The carp in this area tend to be wary, so use a stealthy approach and consider using a hair rig presentation.
