Carp
Clarksville, Arkansas, may not be the first place that comes to mind for Carp fishing, but the Arkansas River and its backwaters hold some surprisingly large specimens. The key to success here is understanding their seasonal feeding habits. Spring and early summer, when the water warms up, are excellent times to target them as they become more active. Pre-baiting a spot with corn or boilies for a few days can significantly increase your chances. Local anglers often have success using pack baits with a strong scent profile. Access to the river is available at various points along Highway 64, and several boat ramps provide access for those with boats. Be mindful of the current; Carp tend to hold in slower, deeper pockets out of the main flow. Don't be afraid to experiment with different baits and presentations to find what works best on a given day.
