For anglers interested in targeting carp, Walnut, Kansas, and the surrounding area offer some surprisingly good opportunities. The Verdigris River, which flows nearby, holds a healthy population of carp, as do many of the local ponds and reservoirs. Spring and summer are the best times to target them, as they are more active and feeding heavily. Corn, dough balls, and boilies are all effective baits. Look for carp in shallow, weedy areas or near submerged structure. Chumming the area with corn a day or two before fishing can help attract them. Be prepared for a strong fight, as carp are powerful fish. A good starting point is the public access areas along the Verdigris River, making sure to check for any local regulations regarding bait and methods.
