Re: Passaic River 4/3 some trout and lots of dead carp
Unfortunately a lot of bowfisherman shoot the carp and throw them back, in the garbage, woods, gardens etc. It sucks for people who like to fish for carp because the biggest fish are the easiest targets. A 40" fish with a 30" girth isn't hard to hit from 5' away, try catching it on a rod. Some bowfisherman even give the carp to people who illegaly sell them. Carp from polluted rivers like the Passaic are sold in NY and NJ and they are eaten by people who have no idea how polluted the water is.
