THANKS everyone for the suggestions. I will try to capture some carp to verify the type. I am 90% sure they are common carp.
Should I try and reduce the number of carp in the pond? They don't muddy the water, and there is plenty of vegetation. I want opinions of all of you wonderful pond masters if the carp could be a potential problem, or a benefit. Would the young be a good source of food for the Bass? I have noticed the population of Blue Gill becoming scarce. There does not seem to be near as many as a couple of years ago.
Thanks for all of your help
John
