Carp
Carp fishing around Palm Springs presents an interesting angling opportunity in an unexpected setting. While not the first species that comes to mind for a desert oasis, carp thrive in the area's irrigation canals, ponds, and even some golf course water hazards. Spring and fall are prime times as the water temperatures are moderate. Pre-baiting a spot with maize or boilies for a few days can significantly increase your chances of success. A key local tip is to focus on areas with submerged vegetation or near inflow pipes, as carp often congregate in these locations. Be prepared for a fight; carp in these smaller waters can be surprisingly strong. The carp here are typically common carp, known for their resilience and adaptability. Remember to check local regulations regarding fishing in irrigation canals and golf course ponds, as access may be restricted in some areas.
