There are a tons of carp in waverly. I bass fished there a lot this summer. One day I was on the southwest corner and the sun hit the water just right and I counted 30 plus carp all between 10 and 20lbs some probably even bigger. I tried corn and worms for about 30mins and got nothing but I don't have enough patience to just sit and wait so i went back to bass fishing. There are quite a few bass in there too although I haven't caught any over 2lbs. but i've heard of a few nice ones comin out of there.
So I think Albany has to be my new favorite place to fish, the bodies of water are what I think of when I feel like catching Carp, especially Waverly Pond.
But I was wondering if anyone has tried for Carp in any of the little duck ponds around Albany, or if there are any better places than Waverly, Freeway, Swan, and Timber-linn Lakes, I hear Freeway is the best bet, but I want to know what the nameless ponds are like cuz I saw one along Waverly Dr that was a straight up Duck Pond and it looked like it held a few Carp. I usually like to find the smallest body of water that produces Carp, thats why I like the Duck Ponds so much, cuz if you cast out, most every carp can smell your bait, any recommendations on small Carp ponds?
Holy crap.. do these carp bite in winter? I've never caught or fished for carp but it sounds like a fun way to spend a few hours. How deep is Waverly?
I have fished Waverly a couple times but never had even a bite....I wouldn't mind some ideas on what to use, if you wouldn't.There are some days that I want to fish early morning before work but don't really want to drive far. Anything would be appreciated.
If you want a lot of carp in Albany go to Swan Lakes behind Cape Lee Apts. You can also fish the ponds off of Horseshoe road or at Truax Island Greenway. I usually go out to the last two in late spring and early summer and just shoot them with pellet guns or .22's.
Hey juggernaut, you seem to know a lot around albany... What is truax island greenway by??
I was wondering about this pond.Google Maps I have fished it twice without any luck.
The ponds behind Teloh-Calapooia Park is where I saw over a hundred carp going crazy spawning one summer when I was 12 or 13. The ponds are hard to find but if you go though the woods to the west you'll find the trails that go out to them.
Do all salmon bite when there spawning?Holy crap.. do these carp bite in winter? I've never caught or fished for carp but it sounds like a fun way to spend a few hours. How deep is Waverly?
