Beyond that i also think there are some ponds in Alberta that actually have them but the are there to keep them clean and are 100% infertile. Could be wrong thou Quote
Guest 420FLYFISHIN Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 i have friends in BC that had a carp problem so they drained the lake down to mud and a trickle, then refilled the lake and stocked it with gerrards. The carp had already killed off the other fish by eating ALL the plant matter in the lake and effectively wiping out the bug population. The lake now has huge mats of veg that rip off the bottom when the nitrogen raises the buoyancy. It makes the lake different every time but its eerie to swim in Quote

Could be wrong thou You are referring to grass carp stocked infertile to eat weeds in golf course ponds etc. These asian carp are way different. It has been a problem now for a long time. Look up bow hunting asian carp for some interesting shots on youtube. Quote

Guest Sundancefisher Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 Last night I dumbed a few dozen in Lake Sundance Short term pain for long term gain. They can't reproduce in the lake but will eat the perch out of house and home... Plus we can bow hunt for them now. Just need some snakeheads now...and some zebra muscles... Yahoo! Quote
