Good luck with that!
The carp are here to stay. There isn't much we could do to get rid of them short of dropping a nuke in the middle. :lol:
They could try and poison it, but the many submerged springs and tributaries would keep them alive in great enough numbers that they'd just bounce right back.
If they poisoned the lake and the tribs AND stocked it heavily with a serious predator fish like pike or muskie (which they won't), they might put a good dent in the overall population of them, but they'll still find a way to thrive and reproduce. Friggin' ****roaches with fins!
Stocking a bunch of large predator fish would cause its own slew of problems and throw off the balance of the lake. Who's to say that they'd even be able to inhabit such a shallow, warm body of water?
I've heard plenty of rumors for years about what "they" are doing to Utah Lake to restore it back to beauty, but I can't help but let my inner pessimist get the best of those rumors. Those carp are a disease without a cure.
Maybe a grand-scale electroshock effort with the amperage turned way up.
I still doubt we'd stop them. It's kind of like promoting genocide anyway, IMO. Granted, we (irresponsible immigrants) brought them here to begin with but we don't have the solution.
