Carp
If you're after carp in North Dakota, don't overlook the Red River near Portland. This stretch of the Red is renowned for its healthy carp population, offering excellent opportunities for bank fishing. Spring and early summer, as the water warms, are particularly productive. Pre-baiting your chosen spot for a few days can significantly increase your chances of success. Consider using boilies, corn, or even bread as bait. A common local tactic is to use a hair rig with a sliding sinker. The carp in this section of the Red River are known for their size and fighting ability. Fish commonly range from 10 to 20 pounds, with larger specimens possible. Be prepared for a battle! Access to the river is relatively easy, with several public access points and parks along its banks. Keep an eye out for areas with slower currents and deeper holes, as these are prime carp holding spots.
