Good,now the Smallies can completely take over havasu!
only thing baby/small carp(up to 2LBs+) are one of the main source's of food for the flathead catfish, and a lot of other predatory gamefish
Dale you hit the nail right on the head ,be careful what you ask for.
These fish are the rock polishers, the vacuum cleaners of the lake.
Just tell me how many small carp minnows you see ? they produce a ton of them and most are eaten.
I do not think it is all good, as some of you think.
ta ta ole frog
You have a point ole frog but, I'm sure this isn't the first time something like this has happened. Like others have mentioned in the thread, mother nature has her ways of cleaning herself out. Personally I cant see the carp going anywhere and will probably be back in full swing not far from now.
I do not think this was a mother nature act.
They think this was caused by a introduction of pet Koi.
Its like the lousey Salt Cedar tree, it came from China,all over the desert
The lousey Blue Gum that is all over So. California from Australia
The Carp from Germany
Its not mother nature, it is man upsetting mother nature .
It always don't work out for the best when one does things like this.
Did not see one dead carp south of the I 10 bridge to- day on the river.
ta ta ole frog
Just got back from the river yesterday and was going to post about the thousands of carp that i seen floating all over havasu. At one point i seen what appeared to be a little rock formation/ Island kinda of by where the river meets up with Havasu. As we got closer we realized it was just thousands of dead carp floating next to each other.
We also heard a rumor from some locals at a pizza joint by london bridge, They said something about a movie called pirahanna was being filmed there not to long ago and the dye they were using for blood was killing off the fish? But i dont know how true that was .
With warm weather the lake must smell really good
