Fishing Creek Reservoir Looking good this year anyone? Looking for bites, not opposed to a good fight with some carp for fun. Would like to hook some up to take away though. Everywhere seems a bit over crowded this season. We’re in the North Western region of Virginia, so no opposition to laying down the miles for some decent spots….suggestions?

I hear ya on the over crowding.
It’s been heavier than I’ve ever seen this year.
I think Covid has everyone looking to get on the water

Can’t help ya on places. Too far from ya.
Go get em.

Welcome to the Stage, Mermaid! I'm in NoVa (Fairfax) and I agree, every public body of water up here is pressured, even Anna and Moomaw (although I fished Lake Frederick recently and had a productive day). My recommendation at least for VA are tidal waters in the E-SE parts of the state like the mid to upper James, Chicahominy, Pamunkey. Fish are always on the move so they're not as pressured from being clustered in one spot. A (long) day trip down there for me.

Welcome to the Stage Mermaid, sorry no help either,but good luck in your search. West Virginia Mike should be along, he should have some ideas.

Hello Mermaid: I am too far away as well. However, there are over 47,000 members so there are some who are close to you, and hopefully will chime in soon. With our members there is a lot of lore, expererience so hang in there. Please post pictures of your catch. Just Sayin...RJS
