We need a plan for now and the future just like Hawaii for instance.
As for you note... this is likely true but only after they "get established" If the carp today are concentrated in a minor drainage then they are targets for extermination. If the first wave have a hard time adapting to the conditions in the Red Deer River they may disappear on their own without a constant replenishment from the drainage. Therefore can we with speed and determination remove the fish from the drainage...then a swift and extensive strike will save the Red Deer and Bow River. Is it worth it? I think yes.
Giving up is not an option until they are fully established in the Red Deer. IMHO.
Also if the WID is not prepared to stop the spread of Carp in their system...they should not operate in 2012. They should also pony up some money to help.
The Bow River pumps a ton of money into the local economy.

agreed..... however, in a river system fish disperse so fast, that by the time something is attempted to be done about it, its probably to late..... but yes an attempt should be made. lakes are more less "contained" and easier to deal with....... rivers, with all the other rivers and feeder creeks that they are connected to, (kind of a labernyth of waterways) would make it an impossible feat. from what i understand they are established already with growing numbers?
