There is no question that there are millions of carp in the reservoir and that they are a major obstruction in the process of improving the fishery. There is commercial value in the carp as noted in the Utah lake sucker plan.
With the water so low it looks to me like it would be an ideal time to remove tons of them and ship them off for sale. The F & G remove tons of chubs from Joes valley which must have something to do with the cutthroat fishery. The cutthroat and splake can't keep up with the prolific chubs so the state removes great numbers of them mechanically. Why not seine Yuba?
