Seasonal Activity Chart
Carp
Carp fishing around Stamping Ground, Kentucky, centers on the Elkhorn Creek and its slower-moving sections. These waters provide ideal habitat for carp, with plenty of vegetation and muddy bottoms. The best time to target carp is late spring through early fall, when water temperatures are warmer and they're actively feeding. Pre-baiting a spot with corn or boilies a day or two in advance can significantly increase your chances. A local tip: focus on areas near bridges and culverts, as these often concentrate carp due to the increased flow of water and available food. Also, be mindful of the creek's clarity, as carp can be wary in clear water. Using a longer leader and a smaller hook can help fool these wary fish. The carp in Elkhorn Creek can reach impressive sizes, offering a challenging and rewarding fishing experience.
