Carp
Carp fishing near Willow City, North Dakota, offers a unique angling experience in the heart of the prairie. While not always a target species, carp thrive in many of the area's lakes and rivers, providing a challenging fight for those willing to pursue them. The best time to target carp is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. Look for them in shallow, weedy areas where they feed on vegetation and insects. Pre-baiting a spot with corn or boilies can significantly increase your chances of success. A local tip: the Souris River, though sometimes overlooked, holds a sizable carp population. Access can be tricky in some areas, so scouting is recommended. Be prepared for a tough fight, as these carp can grow to impressive sizes. Remember to practice catch and release to help maintain the fishery.
