HUGE Carp die off last year WHAT now?

[[email protected]]

Just wondering if anyone knows whether or not the kawarthas and lake simicoe and scugog will be good carp fishing spots, since much of teh carp died off due to the koi herpes outbreak during spawning. Hopefully there will still be carp tugging on the end of my hook with corn this year.

The die-off was actually two years ago, maybe even three, I can't remember anymore. You would think it would be seared into my brain after the trauma of hauling several bloated, rotting carcasses to the dump.

 

In any case, the population did survive, I'm sure the carp fishing will be as good as ever.

It was atleast 2 years ago , and for myself I dont do much Carp fishing but last year while fishing Bass or other fish i saw PLENTY of carp (scugog).. so you shouldnt have any problems..

huh, it wasn't herpes...the MNR was secretly testing an anti asian carp defense strategy....haha

 

but yeah, carp fishing is still good...where exactly are you looking to fish?

 

when I lived in Peterborough I met the same group of UK anglers every summer who said it was cheaper and better fishing to take 4 weeks vacation in summer, fly to ontario and rent a house and fish everyday to their heart's delight as opposed to fishing in the UK and joining a club
