Carp
Miller, South Dakota, might not be the first place that comes to mind for carp fishing, but the overlooked waters here hold some surprisingly large fish. Farm ponds and smaller lakes dot the landscape around Miller, and these often teem with carp that have seen very little angling pressure. Spring, after the ice melts, is a prime time, as the carp move into shallower water to spawn. Another excellent time is late summer and early fall as they fatten up for the winter. A simple dough ball or kernel corn on a hair rig is often all you need. Access can be tricky, as many ponds are on private land, so always seek permission before fishing. Look for areas with submerged vegetation or inflows; these tend to concentrate carp. Be prepared for some surprisingly strong fights in these smaller waters – the carp are healthy and powerful!
