The amount of pollution, heavy metals and who knows what else is sitting on the bottom of Carnegie...not sure you're doing anyone a favor by giving them carp to eat.

Spruce run is probably one of the cleaner areas to get carp from. Monksville and surrounding lakes/reservoirs shouldn't be too bad either. Most will be larger older fish though.

Round valley is clean too but I wasn't aware of carp in there? Usually carp waters are muddier as they love to dig..
