Would this be the same Texas where so many ponds/lakes went dry these past few years, or has that already been forgotten? grin The same Texas where adding grass carp means a long, drawn out process of paperwork, site visits, and governmental intervention on a state level?

Where I'm at, it rains fairly regularly and adding GC is no more complicated than asking the guy on the fishtruck to please dump em' in.

There's good and bad everywhere you go. smile


It's a lot more complicated than that. legally, in Indiana. A permit must be secured, and a quarterly report must be submitted to the state listing size, number and location/gps coordinates of all grass carp stocked within Indiana.....technically now, a permit must also be secured through the Indiana BOAH as well.....

The GC must also be individually blood tested and certified triploidy by a US Fish and Wildlife agent as well....
