I'm not sure but maybe there is something in all the rain water that's flowing into the lake. Surface run off may be contaminated with something or maybe something else was dumped into a upstream creek running into the lake.

I'm not sure what would kill those carp. What kind of carp are they? They are all exotic. Some have been in the US longer but they all originated in China. At least that's where I thought they all came from.

Perhaps I should invest in "dough Balls" and buy a factory that makes those things. I fear that these carp are here for good. I see no way to get rid of them other than inventing something like a virus that specific to the carp and kills them and nothing else. The Government Fish Scientists are probably at Ft Detrick already working one that.

BTW: dough balls is what they use to fish and catch carp in the old days.
