So, Ok. Where is the best place on Utah Lake to catch Carp on rod and reel? I'm not looking for the "Try any Harbor" advise. I want to catch some Carp. Lots of them.
Where did you last fish Utah Lake that you left because the Carp had moved in?
I have mixed feelings about this idea. What happens if the removal of Carp caquses the Walleye to finish off the June Suckers? If we wanted to restore the June sucker the answer is to destroy all up stream dams and allow the lake to return to it's previous state.
That Won't happen.
Seine netting would be a very effecient way to remove carp as well as fish weirs during the spawing season. Both of these methods can be carried out in a manner that does not harm non target fish and allows for an accurate assement of the true ratios of game fish to carp.
