Carp
Carp fishing around Brea might not be the first thing that comes to mind, but it's surprisingly viable. Focus on the ponds and lakes in nearby regional parks like Carbon Canyon Regional Park. These waters often hold good-sized carp that are underfished compared to the bass. Spring and early summer, when the carp are spawning, can be particularly productive. Pre-baiting your swim with corn or boilies is essential to draw them in. A simple hair rig with a kernel of corn or a boilie is a reliable setup. Access to many of these ponds is easy, with well-maintained paths and fishing platforms. Remember to check local regulations regarding bait restrictions and catch-and-release policies. A key tactic is to fish near areas with overhanging trees or dense vegetation, as carp often patrol these areas for food. Be patient and get ready for a good fight!
