Members jbooth Posted July 1, 2013 Members Share Posted July 1, 2013 I have recently become interested in bow fishing. And would like to try it close to home from the bank before i go to the expense of rigging my boat with lights etc. Can anyone tell me how the carp population is in the james river in the south springfield area? And all of the accesible area would be great to know also. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members river angler man Posted July 1, 2013 Members Share Posted July 1, 2013 should have a very good population from what I understand. There's lots in lake Springfield (though you wouldn't be allowed to bow fish in the lake) but they're not stocked in the lake so clearly they just swim in from the river. I've seen people catch over a dozen carp next to the plant where the warm water comes out, some were 10+ pounds and larger. I snagged one once accidentally below the dam in the river, that may be a place to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
