Camp Carp VIII is May 30th & 31st, with Master carpologist Jim Warnecke, who retired from the Game and Fish Department last year, who has graciously agreed to continue this long-standing carp-catching tutorial. Come experience first-hand why carp are the NUMBER ONE sport fish in all of Europe.
The hours for Camp Carp are: 12 pm – 7 pm on Friday & 8 am – 5 pm on Saturday at Roosevelt Lake, Frazier Group Site, watch for signs.
You can experience the excitement of carp fishing & enjoy the 18-year tradition of Camp Carp with the Arizona Game & Fish Department. You can also catch carp at all times of the day, they fight like crazy! Plus, there is no limit on carp or the amount of fun you can have catching these bruisers: last year’s average was 5-pounds per fish. This year should be even better.
“We selected Roosevelt Lake for this years’ Camp Carp due to its shoreline access & fishing opportunities for lesser fish species (bass, crappie, catfish),” Warnecke said.
The Mesa Fish Program folks along with the newly retired Veteran Carpologist Jim Warnecke will provide instruction & various dough bait concoctions for budding carp anglers. Anglers are encouraged to bring their own fishing tackle. We will provide carp experts & a fish fry of "carp fingers" on Friday night. Call Natalie Robb for details at (480) 324-3541.
