Carp
Peoria, Arizona, might not be the first place that springs to mind for carp fishing, but the urban lakes and canals around the city hold surprisingly large populations of these often-overlooked fish. The Arizona Canal, which runs through Peoria, is a prime spot. Expect to find carp in the 5-15 pound range, with larger specimens possible. Spring and fall offer the most consistent action as water temperatures are moderate. Pre-baiting a spot with corn or boilies a day or two in advance can significantly improve your chances. Access along the canal is generally good, but be mindful of private property and stick to designated fishing areas. A simple dough bait or corn fished on a hair rig is a reliable tactic. Don't underestimate these fish; they can put up a surprisingly strong fight in the canals!
