Carp
Carp anglers looking for a challenge in the Mount Vernon area should focus their attention on Lake Cypress Springs and the smaller, surrounding creeks. While not specifically managed for carp, these waters hold a healthy population of these often-overlooked fish. Spring and early summer, when the carp are spawning, can be particularly productive. Pre-baiting your chosen swim with maize or boilies for a few days can significantly increase your chances of success. Look for carp in shallow, weedy areas, especially near creek mouths and inlets. A simple hair rig with a boilie or kernel of corn is a reliable presentation. Access to the lake is good via several public boat ramps, and there are some bank fishing opportunities around the Highway 37 bridge. Remember that carp can be wary, so use a stealthy approach and avoid making excessive noise.
