[quote FishingLunatic]It's not all about trout fishing and fly fishing...why can't we have 1 place that has carp?[font "Comic Sans MS"][#ff0000][size 5] There are MANY places that will always have carp, Utah Lake is one of them.[/size][/#ff0000][/font] It's not like the fish you're talking about are native. [font "Comic Sans MS"][#ff0000][size 5]Trout are native to the Jordan. [/size][/#ff0000][/font]In case u haven't haven't noticed people have been catching nice cats, walleye and even pike this year in there. [#0000ff]Deleted[/#0000ff] all u gotta do is go spots where carp aren't at OR use a bait carp don't eat to catch something else. It's not that hard.
Your definition of good fishing must be different than mine. Carp are fun to catch. There's more big ones and the ones that are big are way bigger than normal "big" say trout. [font "Comic Sans MS"][#ff0000][size 5]Lake Trout reach 30 lbs in Utah. What's the state record carp? [/size][/#ff0000][/font]The only difference is and trout and such are prettier and more edible. They aren't funner to actually catches. I just LOL at everyone's theory of carp eat everything and there's nothing left for the other fishes. [font "Comic Sans MS"][#ff0000][size 5]Carp fry eat what the fry of game fish eat. Each bite taken by a baby carp is one not taken by a game fish or native fish. [/size][/#ff0000][/font]Are you blind? [font "Comic Sans MS"][#ff0000][size 5]WOW! Talk about projection! [/size][/#ff0000][/font] What's with all the other fish catches people are getting? [font "Comic Sans MS"][size 5][#ff0000]They would catch far more and bigger fish if the carp were gone.[/#ff0000][#ff0000] [/#ff0000][/size][/font][#0000bf]Deleted[/#0000bf] do you even fish the Jordan River? [font "Comic Sans MS"][#ff0000][size 5]Carp in the Jordan over 1 pound compete directly with other insectivores/piscivores. [/size][/#ff0000][/font]Have you not seen how much moss is on rocks or ever reeled in and it was on your pole? All fish can eat that. [font "Comic Sans MS"][#ff0000][size 5]FALSE![/size][/#ff0000][/font]
I'm not saying I'm the best or better than everyone. [font "Comic Sans MS"][#ff0000][size 5]You are saying that carp deserve to be treated like a gamefish on par with trout and bass and they are NOT. [/size][/#ff0000][/font]Some one you act like I'm an idiot saying that or oh your paper sucks. Well I guess all my teacher in the past have been idiots too then. Everyone can keep talking behind the screen all they want. [font "Comic Sans MS"][#ff0000][size 5]<You seriously thought this paragraph made sense?[/size][/#ff0000][/font]
Wow dude u don't have to eat every fish u catch. Do some of you even fish just for fun? I know you're a fly fisherman and think you're a god but you aren't any better than any1 else. You might as well be breaking the law and keeping slot size cutties and such because ur fly poles take to bloody long to get them in and they're bellying up by the time you put it back anyway! [font "Comic Sans MS"][#ff0000][size 5]Now you're just flailing about. [/size][/#ff0000][/font][/quote]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#ff0000][size 5]Face the facts, FLunatic. Water turbidity in Utah Lake is primarily caused by carp uprooting the hiding spots (plants) for game fish fry (that's the babies). Mortality of those fry increases dramatically when they have no place to hide. In addition, that turbidity also inhibits the growth of the basic building blocks of the food chain, the phytoplankton, which in turn makes the whole ecosystem underachieve. The overabundance of carp in Utah Lake truly is the main reason that it is not a trophy fishery for real game fish .
Eleven of the original 13 species of fish found in Utah Lake are now extinct and it would be really
to see another one gone if there is something we can do about it. Since our human ancestors introduced the carp that has caused much of the degradation of June Sucker habitat, I think it's only right that we undo what our ancestors did as best we can and that means do our best to eradicate the carp.
