Do you have a small boat? Coyote Creek which flows into Fern Ditch is full of carp. There's a trail that follows the creek but it's full of poison oak. There are a few places that are open enough to shoot though. There's also the Amazon Slough before it enters Fern Ditch. There's a road or a trail that follows the slough to the lake with nothing in your way but some tall grass. There's also the Long Tom River below Fern Ditch. Here's a google map link to each of these places.I've been looking into bowfishing (carp) for a few months now, but I still haven't bought a setup because there's only one place I know of that has carp that can be taken by a bow (Fern Ridge) Is there any other streams or ponds (outside the city limits) where people have spotted any carp? I usually fish all the way from the Oregon coast at Florence all the way to Oakridge but I can't remember seeing carp anywhere to be honestother than inside the Eugene city limits...

1. There's a place to put a small boat in at the bridge on Cantrell Rd.

2. There's a very small parking spot here but it's doable.

3. There's a couple of parking spots here. That's the Long Tom which is full of carp. Google Maps
Are you talking about the swampy area south of the reservoir when you say fern ditch or are we both calling the big lake different names
I left that one out for a reason but now the secret's out. When I was a kid we use to shoot the carp with shotguns down there. Can't shoot guns down there now for obvious reasons.TT's got youon the money, google maps the way to go, check out the slough ne. of fern ridge on prairie rd to it holds a lot of carp, bass etc. , I think it may be the long tom as well, not sure. I used to fish it a lot when Iwas a kid,Camp outs and such,lots of fun man. there is a road that runs beside the airport that will cross over the slough, you can park there and walk it for miles,good luck and Fishon.
I'd love to stick the carp in the deltas and the pond behind albertsons on Coburg road, I almost never see them under 5-6 pounds in either spot. I've never fished for them there because of all the weeds...
