Red writing 1-I should have been more specific: Yes other bodies of water have carp but there is always bow hunting spear hunting and autokill when caught. WHy can't we have 1 place that isn't like that?
Red writing 2-No, the trout in the Jordan are A) sterile and B) not from the jordan river. they swim in it from other rivers or are ones left over from when they used to plant it. There will never be many in there because they are sterile. There will only be as many as swim downstream from other creeks/rivers.
Red writing 3- Lake Trout aren't in Utah Lake or the Jordan River so it doesn't apply.
Red Writing 4- That's a What if...plus I catch fish based on how the water looks in the Jordan River. I can catch all suckers, all carp, all cat fish, white bass or any combination from using certain bait/techniques and fishing it based on how it looks.
Other notes- Uhh yeah right that the fish don't eat that moss stuff. I promise you suckers do and I suspect everything could or would whether it's their preference food. I've agreed with mostt of your Face The Facts section you wrote. I agree for the June Sucker to survive we must get rid of carp because unlike the other fish they are directly dependent on the vegetation. The other fish would be fine without carp gone but yes for the junie to survive they'd need to be gone. The only other method I disagreed with was what we should do with the carp. Also, most of what you're talking about applies to UTAH Lake, not the jordan river. There are dams and the Jordan RIver carp aren't going to be able to swim back into the lake.
