Carp
Carp anglers, Harrodsburg, Kentucky, might surprise you with its overlooked carp fishing potential. Herrington Lake and the Dix River offer excellent opportunities to target these hard-fighting fish. Spring and early summer, when the carp are spawning in shallow, weedy areas, are prime times. Pre-baiting your chosen spot with corn or boilies for a few days beforehand can significantly increase your chances. Bank fishing is readily available along the Dix River below the dam, and several coves around Herrington Lake offer good access. A key local tactic is using hair rigs with small, sweet corn kernels or flavored boilies. Don't underestimate the carp in these waters; they can be quite large and put up a memorable fight.
