Oregon offers excellent carp fishing opportunities throughout the state. These hard-fighting fish can be found in many lakes, rivers, and reservoirs, providing anglers with exciting action year-round.
The Willamette River and Columbia River systems are particularly productive for carp fishing. Spring and fall are the best seasons, as carp move into shallow waters to feed and spawn. Common baits include corn, dough balls, and artificial corn imitations.
Proper tackle is essential for successful carp fishing. Medium to heavy action rods with strong line (15-25 lb test) and sturdy reels are recommended. Carp are known for their powerful runs and stubborn fights, making them a challenging and rewarding target for Oregon anglers. |
