If you're chasing carp in north central Kansas, Courtland offers some surprisingly good opportunities. The Republican River, which flows nearby, holds a healthy population of common carp. While not always easy to target, these fish can reach impressive sizes. Focus your efforts on areas with slower currents, like backwaters and eddies, especially during the warmer months. Spring and early summer, during the pre-spawn and spawn, can be particularly productive. Try using dough baits, corn, or boilies. A good access point is the public access area just west of Courtland, where you can fish from the bank. Be prepared for some muddy conditions, especially after rain. The carp in this region tend to be wary, so a stealthy approach is key. Also, consider pre-baiting your chosen spot for a few days to increase your chances of success.
