I am new to carp fishing, and am looking for places in the DC, MD, VA area to fish for them. I am a little crazier than your average carp fisherman because I am trying to catch them with a fly rod. I have a lot of experience fly fishing, and am hearing that carp are very fun and challenging on the fly.
Does anyone have some recommendations on places I might want to fly fish for carp? If you're not familiar, I'm looking for places where carp can be seen feeding in shallow water so that a fly can be sight cast in front of them on their "dinner plate"
I'm interested in any river, lake, pond, ditch you can recommend with an hour or so from Northern VA.
