Carp
Folsom Lake offers some surprisingly good carp fishing for those willing to target them. These often-overlooked fish can grow to impressive sizes and provide a great fight. The best time to target carp is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. Look for them in shallow, weedy areas and near submerged structure. Popular baits include corn, dough balls, and boilies. Chumming the water with these baits can attract carp to your fishing spot. A key to success is patience and persistence. Carp can be wary, so using a stealthy approach and light tackle can increase your chances of success. Brown's Ravine and the area near the Folsom Lake Marina offer good access points. The carp in Folsom Lake are known to be healthy and strong, providing a challenging fight for anglers of all skill levels. Don't be surprised if you hook into a fish over 20 pounds!
