Seasonal Activity Chart
Carp
Durham, NC, offers some surprisingly good carp fishing opportunities, particularly in areas like Lake Michie and the Eno River. These waterways hold a healthy population of common carp. Spring and fall are arguably the best times to target them, as they're more active in cooler water temperatures. Pre-baiting your chosen spot for a few days beforehand with corn or boilies can significantly increase your chances of success. For Lake Michie, look for weedy areas and shallow bays where carp tend to congregate. The Eno River offers more of a challenge, but the reward of landing a river carp is well worth the effort. A simple hair rig with a kernel of corn is a popular and effective method. Remember to bring a sturdy rod rest, as you may be in for a long wait!
