Carp
If you're looking for some exciting carp fishing near Rutherford College, NC, the Catawba River and its impoundments offer some surprising opportunities. Lake Rhodhiss, in particular, holds a healthy population of carp that can reach impressive sizes. While not traditionally targeted by all anglers, carp fishing is gaining popularity, and these fish offer a great fight. The warmer months, from late spring through summer, are ideal. Look for carp in shallow, weedy areas, especially near inlets and backwaters. Corn, bread, and boilies are all effective baits. A local tip: pre-baiting an area for a few days before fishing can significantly increase your chances of success. Also, be prepared for long runs; carp are strong swimmers. Public access is available at various points along the Catawba River and Lake Rhodhiss. Remember to check local regulations regarding bait restrictions and fishing licenses.
