Carp
Carp anglers looking for a new challenge should consider the waters around Cerro Gordo. The Lumber River and its connected lakes and ponds hold a healthy population of common carp. These fish are often overlooked, but they can provide an exciting fight. Spring and early summer are excellent times to target them, as they congregate in shallow areas for spawning. Try using corn, boilies, or dough baits on a hair rig. Pre-baiting an area can significantly increase your chances of success. Public access to the Lumber River is available at several points along the Lumber River State Park. Be patient and stealthy, as carp are easily spooked in clear water.
