Sam Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 Those "koi" might be from people using goldfish for bait, and they escaped and grew. In most reservoirs in southern California, using live bait (other than nightcrawlers) is a violation and a big ticket if you get caught. Fish & Game tries to keep "trash fish" out of the lakes, and some live bait always gets away and grows up. There aren't any minnows for sale around there since using them is illegal, and there aren't any streams where you can trap or seine minnows. People who want to risk a ticket and cheat fish with goldfish from WalMart or somewhere - so the lakes always get carp in them anyway. Big orange ones.
