Carp
If you're looking for carp in western North Carolina, Drexel offers access to some productive waters. Lake Rhodhiss is the standout location. This reservoir on the Catawba River is known for its healthy carp population, with fish reaching impressive sizes. Spring and early summer are ideal times to target carp, as they become more active and move into shallower areas to spawn. Pre-baiting your chosen spot a day or two in advance with corn or boilies can significantly increase your chances of success. A popular access point is the public fishing pier near the dam. For boaters, several boat ramps provide access to the wider lake. Remember that carp in Lake Rhodhiss can be wary, so using a hair rig and a sensitive bite alarm is recommended. Keep your lines tight, and get ready for a good fight!
