big-head carp

[jim zoerb]

I fly fished below Clinton Lake dam in the river on 10/1/2006 with Larry Cohenour. He had a big-head carp of about 2 lbs that he had just foul hooked and caught. He said he foul hooked and caught a larger one there the night before too.

Jim,

I understand they started stocking smallies in Clinton. How is the fishing below the dam?

Thanks for the heads-up, Jim.

 

I saw a talk today about Asian Carp. It looks like they might be using phermones to attract them toward traps soon.

 

There was also a report about efforts underway in Illinois to make them into pet food and food for inmates. The speaker said they taste good...

 

...I remember some people being skeptical about that before. Has anyone tried one yet?

Has anyone tried one yet?

 

After all the slim I had on me and my equipment after foul hooking and landing one I dont think they will ever be on my menu. Yuckee!
