[#0000FF]As you know, I have spent a fair amount of time studyin' up on the history of good ol' UL. My best intel is that the carp were sent out in a tank car from the midwest in the 1886. I also understand that it was a fed thing...not something requested by the early pioneers. They had knocked the heck out of the trout population and Uncle Sugar was just trying to help everybody out with something that would do well in the big shallow desert puddle that was Utah Lake.
We best not remind Washington that they had a hand in the original plantings. Next thing ya know they'll wanna be registering all carp...and there will be background checks for anybody who fishes in Utah Lake.
Maybe that wouldn't be a bad idea. If it were made illegal to catch or possess carp then the "criminals" would clean them out.
