Have any of you guys caught these fish that resemble carp? i catch a decent amount in raccoon creek on corn carp fishing. they resemble carp but are a sucker

I took my cousin out carp fishing on the LMR a few weeks ago. I haven't spent much time targeting carp on the LMR so I didn't know what to expect. Using oat pack bait, he landed to redhorse suckers and a smallmouth buffalo.

I also caught a few redhorse suckers on a carp trip in the upper section of Dale Hollow back in April.

Yep. I've caught redhorse and white suckers before, mostly redhorses though. I have accidentally foul hooked quillbacks also, never actually caught any though. Btw even though they all look somewhat like a carp, they are native. Some(all maybe?) species of redhorses actually are an indicator of good water quality.

I normally cast net them for bait but in the past i have bottom bounced red worms and caught them. Also fun to catch them on fly rods

I've been trying to catch them on the fly but can't find what they like

I've caught them on egg patterns while fishing for steelhead in the spring, don't know if that would work in the summer.

the Rocky has a spring run of suckers, they stack up at the dams. They definitely like eggs and small redworms or corn.
