Carp
Carp fishing in the Franklin, North Carolina area is often overlooked, but the Little Tennessee River and its tributaries offer some surprisingly good opportunities. These rivers hold a decent population of Common Carp, and they can grow to impressive sizes. The best time to target carp is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. Look for them in slower-moving sections of the river, near weed beds, and around submerged structure. A simple hair rig with corn or boilies is a proven tactic. Pre-baiting your chosen spot for a few days can significantly increase your chances of success. A local tip: be prepared for a strong fight! Carp in the Little Tennessee are known for their stamina. Public access is available at several points along the river, but be respectful of private property. Remember that carp are wary fish, so stealth and patience are key to landing a good one.
