A waste of time. Would much rather see efforts increased toward establishing a solid walleye population and smallmouth population which are self sustaining through natural reproduction. That is why I support the efforts of Perch America, a really good bunch of guys.
Carp do forage on the same food items that sport species do.
They are infact omnivores and feed on anything edible. There are many naturally occuring species, such as madtoms, bullheads, and catfish which fill the role of scavenger that will eat anything a carp will but do not handle pollution or degraded habitat as well as carp or goldfish do.
