Carp
Carp fishing near Higginson, Arkansas, presents a unique angling opportunity, primarily in the Little Red River and its backwaters. These waters offer ideal habitat for carp, with abundant vegetation and shallow, muddy areas where they thrive. Spring and early summer are particularly good times to target carp, as they become more active and congregate in shallower areas to spawn. A simple but effective technique is using dough balls or corn as bait, presented on a hair rig. Pre-baiting your chosen spot for a few days can significantly increase your chances of success. Access to the river is available at several points near Higginson, but be prepared for potentially muddy conditions. The carp in the Little Red River can grow to impressive sizes, so use appropriate tackle and be patient. Remember to practice catch and release to help maintain this healthy population.
