“We had a blast and I am so happy that Nick not only caught a trout on his fly rod but that he caught the biggest trout.  He said he learned so much from you yesterday as I also did.  A great experience. Thanks again and we will be repeat customers, maybe even a float…

Carp angling in the Kings Mountain area presents a unique and often overlooked opportunity for a challenging fight. While not a traditional hotspot, local ponds, creeks, and the Kings Mountain Reservoir hold decent populations of common carp. These fish can grow to impressive sizes, offering a thrilling experience for anglers. Focus on areas with muddy bottoms, vegetation, and slow-moving water. Pre-baiting your chosen spot with corn or boilies can significantly increase your chances of success. Spring and fall are generally the best times to target carp, as water temperatures are more moderate. Heavy tackle is essential, as these fish are strong and can put up a serious battle. Kings Mountain Reservoir offers some public access, but scouting for less pressured areas is key. Remember to practice catch and release to help preserve this underappreciated fishery. Note: Carp can be sensitive to pressure, so handle them carefully when unhooking.
