When I was a kid waaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy back when we used to visit friends in Great Falls mt. and they would shoot the carp in the Missouri river with bows equiped with reels attached.
Carp like to eat the scum off the top of ponds and such and that is why a lot of golf courses have them in their ponds. I put large gold fish in my pond every year and they for sure die off in the winter.
I can't see them in Serviceberry creek, I live not far from there and it is so shallow it would freeze solid.
Don't think our climate would support carp. Hope not anyway.
