Re: Carp!

I live a few blocks from the Provo River here in Utah. The carp are spawning now and are very active splashing along the weeds against the banks. They are available by the hundreds this time of year as they come out of Utah Lake. Two years ago was the largest spawning run for the last 100 years. City employees gathered at the river and tried to push them back to the lake with chain link because there seemed to be more fish than water and they were depleteing oqygen levels so low they were dying. It became quite stinky and a health issue. They did this for almost a month because the carp kept on returning. It was very interesting and quite the amazing to see. This is also the sign that says its time for great catfishing here.
