[cool][#0000ff]There will be another carp seining session tomorrow west of the Spanish Fork River. Contact Reed Harris <[url "mailto:reedharris@utah.gov"]reedharris@utah.gov[/url]> for map or info.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
Wednesday at !:00 pm we will be going out on the ice to watch Bill Loy and his crew remove carp from the Lake as part of the June Sucker Program's carp removal effort. Bill is just finishing a 1.2 million pound contract with our program and will be going straight into a 5 million pound contract funded by a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service grant which will go through December of 2010. The seine (net) fishes some 50 acres and catches a variety of fish including carp, white bass, walleye, catfish, and hopefully, June sucker. Carp are taken to a mink farm as food and the by-catch goes back into the lake. Last Monday a similar haul caught 5 June sucker, largemouth bass, walleye, perch, bluegill, catfish and white bass. If you have an interest, we will send you a map to the entrance of 4000 West, just west of the mouth of the Spanish Fork River.
