I read thru the thread and see that no one mentioned....
Does anyone remember anything about the grass carp being indroduced to the irrigation canals 25-30 years ago, to help keep the grass and weeds from choking off the canals?
If the carp were introduced to artifical man made water courses are they still considered invasive to our natural lakes and rivers?
I guess the floods might have given the carp a means to get to new water sources.
