Carp fishing southern alberta
Hey everyone I was just wondering if anybody knows a good spot to fish for some carp. I have been trying for a while to hook one and can't seem to find a good spot or get any. I've heard of a few ponds on the prairies near calgary (where I live) but can't find a good one.
Thanks a bunch |
I moved to Calgary from England 5 years ago, I was told there was no Carp here in alberta..... sounds like somethings changed!!
What kind of Carp are we talking about here? What kind of sizes are we talking about? How do you fish for them? What bait do you use? Does anyone on here have any pictures? Cheers |
I know of a good place in Sask if you don't mind the drive.
Best bait to use...Dynamite |
People are pretty tight lipped about their spots.

Last Mountain Lake in Saskatchewan is the place to go Carp fishing

Where does one purchase Dynamite baits in or around Calgary, please?
Thanks! |
Prussian carp is what I believe he is referring to. The have been the big newly introduced invasive species over the last 10 years or so. They are now really expanding, growing larger and getting out of hand all over especially in certain areas of central and the south of the province. There are also a few grass carp that were stocked for weed control but none of the big carp like people catch east of Alberta.

Just Common Carp and now Prussian Carp in Saskatchewan at this point. Let's just hope the nastier species of Asian Carp (Silver, Bighead etc) don't ever make it up this way. |
I hope I don't see another carp.
They are so abundant and huge at our cottage in Ontario you can almost walk across them in the spring when they are spawning. |
Lots in nose creek. Found a dead one along the bank about 12-14” long
