Carp
Carp fishing around Apple Valley might not be the first thing that comes to mind, but these fish are surprisingly accessible in some of the local waterways and reservoirs. While not a renowned carp fishery, the California Aqueduct and some of the larger ponds and lakes in the vicinity can hold some decent-sized carp. Spring and summer are ideal times to target them, as the warmer water gets them actively feeding. A simple hair rig with boilies, corn, or dough baits is a reliable approach. Pre-baiting your chosen spot for a few days can significantly increase your chances of success. Be prepared for a good fight, as carp can be quite strong. Public access to the aqueduct might be limited in some areas, so research and respect posted regulations. Also, be mindful of the desert heat and bring plenty of water.
