Carp
While Damascus, Arkansas, might not be the first place that springs to mind for carp fishing, the area's rivers and lakes offer surprising opportunities. The Little Red River, for instance, holds a healthy population of carp that often get overlooked. Look for them in slower-moving sections with muddy bottoms and plenty of vegetation. Corn, dough balls, and boilies are all effective baits. Spring and summer are typically the best times to target carp, as they become more active in warmer water. A great access point is the Hwy 65 bridge crossing the Little Red, offering bank fishing options. Be patient and chum the water to attract carp to your area. The carp in this area can grow to impressive sizes, so be prepared for a good fight!
