Trust me, I'm no fan of carp. I fish for them from time-to-time and they are fun to catch and grow quite large, but for some reason I don't particularly like catching them. I'd much rather catch an 8" bluegill on a 3wt.
So, this isn't a "save the carp" message, but more of an open ended question of where does one stop when picking and choosing which invasive to remove and which to keep?
Just my thought for the day.
