Targeting carp in Tega Cay offers a unique angling experience, primarily focused on Lake Wylie. This reservoir, formed by the Catawba River, provides ample habitat for carp to thrive, with plenty of shallow, weedy areas and backwater coves that they frequent. Spring and early summer are prime times, as carp move into shallower areas to spawn. Pre-baiting your chosen spot for a few days beforehand can significantly increase your chances of success. A mix of corn, boilies, or even bread works well. Access to Lake Wylie is available via several public boat ramps around Tega Cay, including the Nivens Creek Access Area, but be mindful of the shallow areas, especially during periods of low water. The carp in Lake Wylie can reach impressive sizes, often exceeding 20 pounds, making for a rewarding fight. Remember to practice catch and release to help maintain the health of this exciting fishery.
