Auburn Lake Calgary

Was there this past weekend and swear I saw three big carp cruising in the shallows. 10-15lb fish. Do people know these are in there? They weren't rainbows.

might be grass carp to keep the vegetation down.

That is exactly why they were put in the lake.

Always wanted to catch one of these so I’ve done a bit of research

I read that since they’re vegetation eaters you literally bait your hook with the same kind of vegetation they’re eating

I know one member caught one not too long ago. Wonder if he was using worms?

Next door here in Mahogany...We now have the invasive prussian carp so I assume Auburn Bay lake has the same as well....Didn't take long for us to get them....

stripped a wooly bugger over a grass carps head in okotoks lake about 50 times until he finally took it

I didn’t know the Bow River ran through Lake Mahogany.

It doesn't....But what do you know....Carp ended up in our lake....Bucket brigade or possibly birds? Who know's?

Maybe you can shed some light on it Dodger?

Because maybe you live here in Mahogany?

Just making fun about the bucket brigade. It is everywhere and there is no stopping it.

It is so sad that these vandals keep moving these Prussian carp around. How hard can it be to figure out that an unregulated population will expand until food resources become very limited....and subsequently growth will decrease to next to nothing.
I hope there is a case where vandals get caught and fined thousands of dollars
