Carp
Targeting carp near Little Rock offers a unique angling experience, especially in the Arkansas River and its connected bayous. Spring and early summer are prime times as carp move into shallower waters to spawn. Look for them in areas with submerged vegetation or near muddy bottoms where they forage for insects and plant matter. A key to success here is understanding the river's flow; carp often congregate in eddies and slack water where food accumulates. Try using dough baits or corn kernels on a hair rig, presenting them near the bottom. Be prepared for a strong fight, as these Arkansas carp are known for their size and power. Access to the river is available at several public parks along the banks, but be mindful of fluctuating water levels, especially after heavy rains.
