MB might disagree - but I find reports like this very concerning.

Thanks for sharing - I missed this one in the news.................

x2

Especially since they've been in the same body of water and were not very far apart (time wise)

Common Carp was all doom and gloom...now it is huge recreational fishery...especially on the St. Lawrence and in Hamilton. I don't hear people grumbling anymore. How many carp reports are here on OSF? Rolleyes

That shows how much our local fisheries have degenerated.

Why do many people go on fly-in trips or travel afar to fish (or dream of doing such) if it's so great here?

No matter how much lipstick ya put on the pig........ it's still a pig.

Luckily - we all adapt and make the best of what's available..... and possible. I enjoy my current outings.......... but do recall a better time.

Cheers,

Grass Carp are pretty destructive but I'll take a Grass Carp over a Bighead or Silver carp anyday!!!

Because people dream of doing something different and learning new things in the process. People also get bored of fishing the same species over and over again.

I've been in denial about Ontario for a very long time, probably my whole life I've wanted to be somewhere tropical. The past year of fishing here in Ontario has changed my perspective quite a bit. Ontario is a special place in that we have so much water here, and there is so much to explore. Every month brings with it a new season and style of angling. From steelheading in creeks to bass in the summer to salmon in the fall to ice fishing in the winter. That doesn't even begin to cover the variety over time Ontario has to offer. It will probrably be a few more years until I can say I've truly experienced what Ontario has to offer fishing-wise. There's stuff I haven't even started to work on... like BoQ walleye, big muskie, back lake brook trout being some of the endeavors on the back burner.

Yes, like MB has said before Ontario is a lot of the same kinds of fish, but the sheer amount of fresh water and ever-changing seasons there is in this part of the world is mind-boggling.
