I heard there are carp in Horseshoe slough , and i was just wondering if this was true and if so, how big they could get. also does anyone know if theres any streams , or creeks in richmond that offer at all trout or carp? and if winter is the greatest time to fish for carp?

I've seen carp in Nikomekl and Serpentine rivers - a friend of mine is a big fan of carp fishing and goes there all the time. He told me it is tough to get carp in winter - they prefer warm water. Corn works the best.

Hey alex since your in richmond and all, do you know if theres ANY freshwater streems where you can catch trout or carp out of? ive been fishing gary point (near scotch pond) and london landing for 11 years and i was very curious if there was any freshwater bodies here.

hey XjohnX...theres carp in ladner slough and in the south arm of the fraser. fishing in winter is more difficult cause they become less active..less feeding occurs. try garry point park and no 3 rd. in south richmond!!

hey xjohnx....richmond is not famous for lakes and streams because there basically aren't any...you do however have the fraser river on both sides which is a jackpot of oppurtunities...the north arm is your best bet from knight street bridge west. like alex said corn is a must or doughballs and unfortuneatly winter is not that active time for carp...my friends usually fish for carp in the lower fraser around june ish...lately they have been getting large carp in the harrison flood plains in acouple of feet of water around july august...i have caught carp and squawfish in the nicomekyl when i was younger around february..march but that is the earliest....good luck.

Hey i went to Horseshoe Slough and the pier at the end of Number 3 road to see how the water level and all was doing. First, Horseshoe slough where theres supposedly carp, is a ditch. when i first got there, the water was low, theres fallen trees everywere, and the water looks like dark coffee.... and theres shopping carts in the water...waste of time no carp there... i dont think anything can live in that slough.. anyhow, number 3 road pier was alright, low tide and the water was moving suprisingly fast. that pier is salt water or brackish. im going to take a look at burnaby lake or deer lake tommorow, anyone know if these lakes produce well?

burnaby lake is best...i've seen fisherman using doughballs to catch them just before the wharf/pier where the the rowing club stores their equipment..you know someones caught one when the water errupts with a hooked carp. you will see skunk cabbage and lillypads all around the shallow water where they tend to school.of course this is in the summertime and i don't know about this time of year where they will be....good luck.

try ladner slough or the serpinetine. Doughballs seem to be more effective in ladner.

go down the 99 to ladner then take the first exit to river road then keep going until you see a pump station on your left then fish their. use 2 split shots a swivel then a hook with a worm. i caught a 6 pound carp their. email me at mikeybrand@icloud.com if you went their.
or you can go to garden city park in richmond and use the same setup and catch 3-10 pound carp and 2-15 pound catfish

You said 15 pound catfish in the garden city pond? I know it’s been five years but I have not yet landed a fish more than probably 10 pounds while not on a charter. What species are they? I didn’t know there was a big species of cats in bc, only bullheads.

There's a more prominent comprehension than at any other time that carp spend extensive stretches sat well off the base. Zig rigs are an extraordinary winter approach, and if nibbles aren't expected on base traps, attempt the upper layers. Pop-ups orbits fishing tackle near me of apparatus froth at 66% profundity is a decent beginning stage, and be set up to go nearer to the surface. Indeed, even in conditions that are terrible to us, carp are incredibly regularly sat only a couple of feet down. It's not only a daytime or edginess strategy, some top carpers use bits of dark apparatus froth zig rig style day and night as their favored winter strategy.
