Finally, in TD's last post sombody mentions the real bigest problem. Dams.
In 1935, before Deer Creek was built the population of carp was down to 700K, in 1945, 4 years after DC was completed, 2.4 million and continued to go up every year since.
I will agree that the carp have raised havoc with the suckers and chubs, but I'll bet that if we did not capture and re-route the major tributary into the lake it would fix it's self real fast.
Imagine if the big J were to breach in an earthquake, It would take out DC in a flash and 2 weeks later, UT lake would be a whole diferent place.
