Carp
Carp angling around Fort Worth presents a unique challenge and opportunity for anglers. The Trinity River and its connected lakes offer abundant habitat for these often-overlooked fish. Spring and fall are prime times, when water temperatures are moderate and carp are actively feeding. Pre-baiting your chosen spot for a few days with corn or boilies can significantly increase your success. Local carp tend to be wary, so use fluorocarbon leaders and keep your terminal tackle subtle. Many anglers find success using method feeders packed with flavored ground bait. For access, consider the river sections near downtown, where you'll find accessible banks and plenty of carp holding in the deeper holes. Remember to check local regulations regarding bait restrictions and catch-and-release policies.
