Not good ,I wonder what the population will be like in a few years frown Good news is there is a new forage base for some of the top line preditors. Bad news is they will wipe out existing food sources for some native fish species.

Some of us in about 3 or 4 years.

HA!

Awesome video. I'll have to take a closer look when I get home for work.

On the plus side, those carp in that video are small. Good eater size. The big ones are disgusting, but those little guys just might have some potential.

The DNR has evidence the fish are already above Coon Rapids dam. That's eDNA testing, not a physical specimen.

Hey Scott,

Kinda makes you wonder why they are going to go ahead and spend 30 mil on improving the dam's effectiveness as an invasive species barrier ehh? I have said all along that it is a huge waste of taxpayer money, and that they could hire armed guards to watch the dam for people up to no good trying to transplant them on the other side and still come out ahead. There is no way to stop the spread of them when you factor in the human stupidity element.

It may be possible to build up the C.R. dam high enough that its impassable. At present it's not sufficient.
