Carp
Don't overlook Chino, California, for some surprisingly productive carp fishing. While it's not a renowned carp destination, the local lakes and canals offer consistent opportunities. Prado Regional Park Lake is known to hold a decent population of carp, often overlooked by anglers targeting other species. Spring and early summer are ideal, as the carp become more active for spawning. Try pre-baiting a spot with corn a few days before you plan to fish. Sweet corn, boilies, and dough baits are all effective. Concentrate your efforts around weed beds and shallow, muddy areas. A local tip: use a hair rig to present your bait effectively and increase your hook-up ratio. The carp in Prado Lake can range in size, offering a good challenge for anglers. Remember to use appropriate tackle, as some of these fish can be quite large.
