Carp
Carp fishing in Prescott Valley might not be the first thing that comes to mind, but anglers willing to target them can find some surprisingly good opportunities. Watson Lake and Willow Lake are your best bets. These lakes hold a decent population of carp that can reach impressive sizes. Spring and early summer, when the carp are spawning, is often a productive time, as they congregate in shallower areas. Pre-baiting a spot for a few days beforehand can significantly increase your chances. A local tip is to use corn or boilies as bait, and don't be afraid to experiment with flavors. Both lakes offer good bank access, though a boat can help you reach more secluded areas. Be prepared for a fight, as these fish are strong and can put up a good battle. Remember to handle carp with care and return them to the water unharmed. While not a traditional target for all anglers, carp fishing in Prescott Valley can be a rewarding experience.
