I think I have grass carp, at least one, in my pond, but I've never seen any sign of them spawning. What I have seen is an occasional huge splash or swirl and the wake of what looks like a torpedo speeding across my pond. The pond has no vegetation, and whatever it is, has never hit on an artificial lure. And yesterday I saw an uprooted sprig of grass or sedge floating in the pond. Something I read on this thread last night reminded me of the uprooted grass, and I put 2 and 2 together. My pond is up a bit now, and some of the shoreline vegetation is under water. Grass carp had crossed my mind before, but I'd never given them serious thought. I thought the lack of vegetation was most likely due to some use of a poison before I bought this place.
