I lived near Utah lake as a kid in the 80’s. It was blue, clear and you could catch trout pretty easily. I went back in 1998 and it was green, the water actually felt slimey and it was filled with carp.

carp is actually good to eat if you know how to prepare it, you need a pine board as long as your fish and as wide, lay your carp on the board and nail it down. slide the board with fish attached in a 350 degree oven and leave it there for one hour. then remove it and throw away the carp and eat the board

George Foltz they tried that before. The cat food makers only want tuna. We should start a new canning business. Canned carp is really good! My friend used to can it and people came from 70 miles away just to get some! Crazy huh? We were trained not to eat carp. Why? Because back in the day the fish was raised for export. The government didn't want people to eat it so that they could create a national income bringing money into the new nation. It worked until everybody jumped on the band wagon! They soon flooded the market and everybody bailed out. Dumping their carp into the local lakes and streams. If you bleed a carp the meat goes sweet. The muddy taste goes out.

The problem my logic tells me is if this was going to be successful they either would have to annihilate them entirely or this kind of large scale carp fishing would have to be a continuous without end. The carps were introduced by a very small number of a few perhaps even just by one pregnant female and decades later it is over ran. If they don't make them extinct in this lake entirely they will continue to populate and this will be a never ending project.

I absolutely love the work being done here. The only problem I have been able to summarize so far, why didn't you ask me for help?

If the CARP are from a relatively clean water source, the CHINESE fish exporters will come to you and pay a premium for carp. Prices vary for species and water quality.

All of them are filled with carp. Utah Lake is the second largest natural lake and the largest freshwater natural lake in the state. The hope is that 25% will be maintained and not increased. As for the native fish, bonneville cutts cannot live in that ecosystem, however the June Sucker can and they are why this is happening. Keeping the feds out of the state to not control the management of the lake. They will be back regardless of how many are removed.

It was a business venture that went wrong when the california state decided that it should be a food for everyone (shocking right?) and started stocking them in all the bodies of water. Well, other states east of there wanted carp too so the US gov transported them to their areas and did the same thing. Eventually they just spread everywhere and took over. Now they are naturalized almost everywhere in the US.

You will never remove all the carp ! They will only create a cottage industry of making fertilizer. Impossible to remove

Carp were originally cultivated by the ancient Romans as a food source. They took the fish with them when they conquered much of Western Europe, where the species by now is seen as domestic. In the Eastern parts of Europe, mainly the Balkan region, carp is still seen as a value food source. Moral of the story: don't just look at them as pests.

Carp is still cultivated as a food source virtually across entire world, except US where any fish that has bones is considered a thrash fish. If prepared right carp is surprisingly tasty.

@@bosesebi6685 You like carp? Then YOU eat them.

Why not sell permits, let anglers--even without a license, take carp? Make money for the state, let fisherman catch a lot of fish. No, let's use the state budget, go out an net em. Come to think of it, why not let commercial fisherman take them in nets? You say take 75 Percent? Ok, AFTER you do that, what stops them form coming back in droves? This was made in 2010, where are we today, how has it all worked out?

Oh man that's a lot of Christmas Carp for the holidays. Yummy.

in my country they mince up the carp and use it for fertiliser

Should be done in more places to ride the carp from water ways

Lol first off I am not an American and if you do some research on the carp that are entering waterways they never lived in and do some research about carp and how they reproduce you would find that, they take over and over populate the water way. They kill off all other fish in the waterway that are natural to that waterway. This is not a good thing for the environment that you seem to want to protect. So maybe before you spew off comments on the internet you should have some knowlage of what your talking about. Do you want only carp in the waterways of the world and no other fish in the world? I ask this because with your logic of not controlling the population of this invasive fish that's what will happen. So how about you stop the BS and none facts base insults and actually comment some valve of commenting or are you to narrow minded to actually understand facts and what it takes to help the environment not help kill it off?

So it's been 8 yrs. Has the lake gotten back to where it was before the carp?

So what has happened since the video was posted?

In the early 1960s I fished mostly in Central Utah. Here were a couple of lakes just overrun by carp. Everyone just threw them on the bank when they were caught.

I'd like to see shoal draft ocean type fishing boat with their giant nets

I've heard that carp is really delicious. As long as it's from a relatively clean lake. There must be a market for this fish. If there is, carp could be harvested regularly to keep them from overpopulating lakes

I see this was done back in 2010 , Now that it has been 7 years and the program was only a 5 year program how did it turn out ? Could you do another Video on that to show it can be done ? Thanks .
