Recently I have noticed a few Koi in a local pond and was wondering what to use to catch them. Would I just use traditional carp baits or is there a better bait. Thanks

Leever, if this is a pond where kids feed bread to the ducks, you may try floating a breadball under a amall float.

I would go with Curts suggestion if bread is normally introduced to the water.
Otherwise maize on a hair or sweet corn on a circle hook
