This thread is still going

Anyone care to see how big the affected area is??? Don't think any kind of eradication will work, simply because most of it is inaccessible to us fisherman or spear/arrow man to have any effect. Let's just hope pike and walleye take advantage of this. Prussian carp is an easy pray for most avian predators, they only grow to about 4 lbs, easy meal for cormorants and for pike and walleye. Maybe we as fisherman will benefit from this.

Nobody knows for sure what kind of effect Prussian carp has on native species. From my experience fishing one of these infested dugouts, in it I found Prussian carp as dominant in numbers, perch right behind the, then there are suckers and tulibee (not sure of spelling), there are also lake whitefish and some big fat pike (which I choose not to fish for, I let em be and watch in amazement when they attack schools of bait fish.)
