DWR vs Carp! Who will win?

[Kent]

That would be great if they could develope a mutant gene (they have done it successfully with some insects) that would cause them to die off. Short of that, the only hope would be ongoing major and expensive management projects. I grew up around Utah Lake, and not only are there carp everywhere in Utah Lake, they are thick in the many streams (up several miles in many of them) that feed Utah Lake. If they make an all-out push and somehow make a dent in the population it will all be wasted effort if they don't continue that same level of effort every year therafter.
