1. In Connecticut (Connecticut River), there is a creel limitation on carp. Do you believe there should be one ? What about in your area? In Misouri and Kansas we should only allow Bow fishing on the rivers, and then then creel limitation makes sense. Killing land locked Carp is like shooting a fenced in deer. Many of the lakes that have been shot out no longer have Carp large enough in them. 2. With this regulation, the limitation of common carp is 5 and trophy is 1 with a 26 inch maximum. Do you think that this is fair? Very Fair. 3. Do you notice a significant abundance of capturing carp, that in which we need to conserve and protect them? Yes we do the large ones they have lived for so long and killing them makes no sense, like bass there should be a minimum and maximum no kill size. 4. On a scale of 1 to 10, What would you say is the importance of protecting common carps? (1= no importance at all, no change needed in protecting them ; 5 = I see a difference, we could do some things to protect them ; 10= They need more conservation) (You can pick any numbers in between these three respectively). 5 let be realistic - they will never be protected but lets at least conserve. 5. On a scale of 1-10, How fair do you think this new regulation is overall? ( 1= The regulation does not affect me ; 5= It affects me, but I can deal with it; 10= It affects me and my catching) (You also can pick number in between these three respectively). 10- lets save the trophy fish and cull the smaller ones.
