#9653, "Koi & other problem Carp at Silverwood ?"
|
How many of you have noticed a problem with Carp at Silverwood ? If you have seen them, what part of the lake have you noticed them most ? Because Carp destroy the life cucle habits of various game fish, I just wanted to let you know I've seen too many Carp up there to make me believe the lake will produce quality L.M. Bass fishing. Do you know of any studies, or attempts to get rid of the Carp population ? Maybe we all shou;d write to the state people to demand action. If you have ever experienced the down turn of a lake because of Carp activity, you wouldn't take these comments litely. Today it's Silverwood. . . tommorow it's your lake.

Has seen them at the north east end frequently. If you catch one, don't ever put them back in the lake.

Your comments sound strangely like a hidden agenda - motivationally progressive, if you will. Can't readily point you to studies. You might do a search on your own and tell us what you came up with. I only know what I've seen happen first hand. You touched on a big part of the problem when you indicated that Carp will chase Bass off their beds. Carp eat Bass eggs ! If Carp are wrongfully introduced, and /or left unchecked, the reproduction of bass fry doesn't make it beyond the egg stage. . .ergo. . . no, or greatly reduced future Bass fishery. I don't know that I need to know any more than that fact.
Take care.
