Prussian carp is what I believe he is referring to. The have been the big newly introduced invasive species over the last 10 years or so. They are now really expanding, growing larger and getting out of hand all over especially in certain areas of central and the south of the province. There are also a few grass carp that were stocked for weed control but none of the big carp like people catch east of Alberta.

What kind of Carp are we talking about here? What kind of sizes are we talking about? How do you fish for them? What bait do you use? Does anyone on here have any pictures?
Cheers
