Thanks Dave! My grass carp info is a little more sketchy than than my LMB & BG info. I was not aware that they were not nest spawners, I did know about the need for current. (I also know about the set of molars they have in the back of their throats too.) What I saw last week really looked like spawning beds rather than just "holes" in the vegatation, there are "holes" in the vegetation in lots of places, none of them are completely cleared out of all vegetation, there is usually filmentous algea in them, these ones even had a slight depression to them, they reminded me of a very large LMB bed with old bleached snail shells semi-uncovered in the soil. The bleached snail shells are something we normally don't see unless something has been fanning the area out to spawn in the springtime, thus my curious question about the possibilty.
