Meadowlark, sounds good to me. I'm interested in stocking both types of carp. I have 2 ponds that would work. One already has carp, common for sure, maybe some amur. I've seen 'em spawning. The other pond has no carp, but would be a good candidate for the amur. The water is clear, the bottom silty, lots of milfoil, and lots of shallow flats, lots of lmb. Also lots of sunfish, including some very big bluegill and redear. I'll pm you my contact info and we'll work on getting together on this.
My next step will be a survey on the pond with the carp to get an accurate idea of carp population and health. I've seen a few this year in the 6-8 lb. range, in past years I've seen some in the 15-20 lb. range.
I really appreciate everybody's responses to this post.
