Need some carp

[LABSRULE]

I am looking for someone that may have some extra carp sitting in their freezer that they want to get rid of or point me in a direction where i can go bow shoot some near the salt lake valley. We have hit utah lake a couple of times but the high water and wind made it near impossible. I have a brother and sister with summer bear tags and the carp has been working real well. Any help would be appreciated.

It's a bit of a drive from salt lake, But Willard Bay's South Marina is chock full of them right now. You may have to join the crowd, or get in a kayak and move around.

If you're willing to catch them on a rod, Kaysville and Bountiful ponds are full of carp that are happy to cooperate right now.

You can't bow fish in the state parks.

Jordan river has plenty. Find a back eddie and shoot away. outside of salt lake county . Also grantsville res has some giants. was out there last week and there shallow. just need some waders and walk it quietly. The overflow outlet has had tons around it. I would be happy to join you anytime and shoot a few myself.

Corn is now legal in all of Utah and carp love corn.

Thank you for the heads up. I'm not doubting you're correct, but can you please show where the state park rules restrict bow fishing? I know discharging a weapon at a boat ramp in prohibited, but for the life of me I can't find anything saying you can't bow fish period. Isn't Utah Lake a state park? There are numerous bow fishing tournaments held there each year.

I've been to the South Marina half a dozen times in the last couple weeks, and each time there has been numerous guys out walking around the marina bow fishing. This past Thursday there were two kayak'ers, as well as a motored boat, bow fishing for several hours inside the South Marina, and park staff at the ramp didn't say anything.

I can't find anything in the guide book or state parks site saying it's prohibited. I've looked for an email address to write them directly, but can only see a phone line which isn't manned during the weekend.

Thanks in advance. - Mac
