Are most of the carp around here common carp and how do you tell the difference between asians grass and common?
I'm fishing Barren River Lake and all I've seen are "common" Carp. I don't think Grass or Asian Carp are present in that Lake. Here's a link to Wikipedia which has some good info and pics on the different species, but you can google images for those to get a better look at the different features on each fish.

A few weekends ago I did see a rather large "gold fish" and I'm sure it was a Koi. It was a very distinct orange and I guess someone let it go or thought it was dead and flushed it down the toilet... ... either way it was not feeding and was just swimming around very happy up in the weeds... cool sight though....
