yup - nothing wrong with chasing them. Grass flies, popcorn flies, cottonseed, snails, smaller minnows. Lots of patterns.
C&R all the time. Although considered an invasive species ...... we really haven't had much for problems with them here.
Suckers, carp, forage/rough/garbage fish whatever people think of them - are a fish in the food chain now. If a state / province DNR declares a cull creel of them - then I'd say fine to do so. If not ..... C&R. I'll let the folks in charge figgure those problems out. If they are a problem in the area - call the DNR and ask them about it. No sense going off half cocked if it lands you in the brig.
Carp are delicate table fare for a number of eastern European countries as turkey is to our Thanksgiving table. I can't swallow that one yet - but then again, I thought the same way on cats.
