Carp
Brant Lake might not be the first place that springs to mind for carp fishing, but it holds a healthy population of these often-overlooked sport fish. Targeting carp here can be a rewarding experience, especially if you're looking for a challenging fight. The best time to fish for carp is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, when they are most active. Pre-baiting your chosen spot with corn or boilies for a few days can significantly increase your chances of success. A local trick is to use a hair rig with a small piece of flavored boilie or a kernel of corn. Focus on areas with weed beds or near the inlet/outlet streams. Public access is available via the main boat ramp, but be aware that the lake can get crowded with recreational boaters during peak season, so early morning or late evening fishing is recommended for more solitude.
