CWitek Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 Never reaized that Coinnecticut protected carp. It's like California's rules protecting feral hogs. I suppose that it makes sense to someone. brushfly 1 "I have always believed that outdoor writers who come out against fish and wildlife conservation are in the wrong business.

gellfex Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 Fascinating how some invasives or introductees are demonized, even certain species of trout, and others protected like this European invader. I guess they hired a good lobbyist. I wonder what native species the carp displaced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think carp are one of the most destructive invasive fish species in fresh water. Embrace American Privilege Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
