Carp
If you're looking to tangle with some hefty carp, Calion, Arkansas, is a surprisingly good destination. The Ouachita River and its associated waterways hold a healthy population of common carp that can reach impressive sizes. Many anglers overlook them, but carp fishing here can be quite rewarding. Spring and early summer are excellent times to target carp as they become more active with the warming water. Pre-baiting your chosen swim with corn or boilies can significantly increase your chances of success. Look for carp in slower-moving sections of the river, near vegetation, or around submerged structure. A simple hair rig with a kernel of corn or a boilie is a proven method. Be prepared for a powerful fight, as these fish are known for their strength and stamina. Local tip: Look for areas where the river widens and shallows out, as carp often congregate in these spots to feed.
