[#0000FF]Because of the PCB thing in Utah Lake fish it is probably not a good idea to use them for valued pets. Although some of the carp netted by the Loys go to hog and chicken feed...or so I'm told.
Lots of carp in Farmington Bay. Also in Willard and Pineview. Deer Creek swarms with them during spawn time. Timing is everything. When they are inshore and busy it is too easy.
Mona Reservoir and the outlet stream were formerly good carp habitats. But the recent drought dried it up and killed everything.
Yuba is also full of carp, and can be easy pickins with rod and reel...or a net. But it is a longer drive and subject to weather variations that might move the carp around.
If it is large chubs you are after, there is probably no better place than the outlet below Scofield.

[#0000FF][#0000FF][b]Make sure you have a sturdy net and not a flimsy monofilament net if you target large carp. I found out the hard way at Farmington Bay. Threw a net to try to get some chubs and small carp in one of the outlet channels. The water boiled as three huge carp began thrashing around in my new net. By the time I got them to shore and untangled the thin monofilament mesh from their barbed fins my net was trashed.[/#0000FF][/b][/#0000FF]
