Hey Charles,

I have trout in the pond, so I don't want grass carp rutting around
stirring up silt and muck. Also, I've read that they will chew on the
water lillies and lotus I plan on planting.

Thanks for the idea though!

well, I'm not sure that they rut in the muck...I do know that you have
to be careful about how many you get...as we've had several lakes out
here that were so denuded of vegetation as to loose some of the more
profitable bass and crappie habitat...

Hey guys, I've gotten some additional feedback on this from the folks
over at pondboss.com. I thought I'd share the thread with you for
those interested. Maybe someone out there is doing some of the crazy
things I'm doing and would find this interesting/helpful.
