Carp
If you're looking for some surprisingly good carp fishing, Altus, Arkansas might just surprise you. While not typically known as a carp destination, the area's numerous small lakes and ponds, along with the Mulberry River, hold some impressive specimens. Spring and early summer are prime times, as the carp move into shallower water to spawn. Try pre-baiting your chosen spot for a few days with corn or boilies to concentrate the fish. A local tip: many of the smaller ponds are on private land, so always ask for permission before fishing. The Mulberry River offers bank access at several points, but be prepared for swift currents after rainfall. Altus carp tend to be strong fighters, so bring sturdy gear!
