help identifying fish in Floyd's Fork at the Parklands
Hi guys! Can anyone identify these? I just went through the fw.ky.gov fish identification guide (quickly, I admit), but didn't see these in there.
I'm sorry the pic isn't better, but you can click and see it slightly bigger.
Floyd's Fork in the Parklands where the water was deeper was full of these. Some were about 8" or so, but the big ones were probably 2'+.
They seemed to just be floating near the surface, usually in groups. I cast near and at them, and they had no interest in my lures, and didn't even seem to be bothered by the lures.
I'm thinking some sort of carp... Maybe gar?
Thanks! -- Danielle, who is still acclimating to KY fishing and species

Common Carp in Floyd's Fork
I know this thread is old, but I don't think the fish in the original post have been properly identified yet. I am 99% sure they are Common Carp, which is a distinct species from both Grass Carp and Asian Carp (invasive species).
Here is a pic of a 16lb Common Carp I caught in the Floyd's Fork. Looks quite a bit like the pics in the original post. Tight Lines!
