If you're heading to Woodston, Kansas, and enjoy a good carp battle, you're in luck. The nearby Solomon River and smaller watershed lakes provide ample opportunity to target these often-overlooked fish. Unlike some pressured fisheries, the carp in this area can be relatively naive to common baits. Spring and early summer are excellent times, as the carp move into shallower water to spawn. Try pre-baiting an area with maize or sweetcorn for a few days before your fishing session. A simple hair rig with a boilie or multiple kernels of corn is a tried-and-true method. Focus on areas near weed beds, overhanging trees, or any structure that provides cover. Be prepared for a powerful fight; these carp can reach impressive sizes. Public access to the Solomon River is available at several bridge crossings, providing convenient fishing spots.
