Carp
Carp fishing in Caddo Valley is often overlooked, but the Ouachita River and its backwaters hold a surprising number of these powerful fish. While not as popular as bass or crappie, targeting carp can be a challenging and rewarding experience. The best time to fish for carp is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. Look for them in slow-moving sections of the river and in the shallower areas of Lake DeGray, especially near grassy banks. Corn, dough balls, and boilies are effective baits. A tip for success: pre-baiting your chosen spot for a few days can significantly increase your chances of landing a carp. Be prepared for a long fight; these fish are strong and can put up a good battle. The carp in this area tend to be quite large, with some reaching impressive sizes.
