No one is questioning that there here in AB. It's the comments about "water boiling with them" that has a few scratching there heads. Then some members asked where to go to catch some? You said you attached a map on page 2 of this thread. I have looked at your map and it's does not show anything but a bunch of ponds and marshes over a pretty large area, are all of them "boiling" with Carp?
If you have a spot that you want to keep to yourself for fishing - fair enough. But let's start sharing specific spots so people can go and catch them and feed them to the coyotes. I bet the are many many members with kids that would like to have a crack at these.
My $1.50 again on this topic. Even if it p****s of some.

No one is questioning they are here?....Hwy#2 North to Hwy #567 East to Hwy#9 North again, First right (East) on Township #273, first right on lease road (South) First Left (East) follow to lake (largest body of water in the area). If you look at all the creeks on the map that come out of this water body and head into various other water body's as well as more larger creeks and irrigation canals. I would think its safe to say they are not in one isolated marsh or pond in the area...specific enough? I don't care to catch these fish at all...so have at it! my $1.50 again on this topic.
