You catch it. Sorry I wasn't that specific. I guess it's not free because you have to buy a loaf of bread or bring a piece from home. I don't know of anywhere that you can buy carp meat, maybe at Sportsman's Warehouse but I doubt it. All you need to do is rig up a fishing pole and take a quick trip to a golf course pond, Utah Lake, or the lower Provo River and ball up the white part of the bread really tight on your hook. Don't use any weight, just the hook. Then just lightly throw it out a little ways in the water and wait. I usually catch one within 5 or 10 minutes, then haul him in and fillet him up for bait. The lower provo is FULL of carp in the warmer months. The easiest place that I have found to catch carp is a pond out at the south end of the Novell parking lot in Provo. It's just (north) across the street from the East Bay Golf Course. Just take the University Ave. exit from I-15 and head towards the mountain and you'll see it right away. Its the tallest building in the valley.
