Carp

An often overlooked food and sport fish. Carp have large scales, two small barbels on each side of fleshy mouth, and a large sawtoothed spine at the front of a long, single dorsal fin and the anal fin. Color is brassy yellow or gold. Use worms, corn or dough balls made with bread, cornmeal or Wheaties with various flavors ( such as liver or anise ) added, and fish on bottom. Catches of 8-15 pounders not uncommon. Good fighters. Tasty when smoked. Average size 15-22 inches. No creel limite.
