White Amur released into lake!

HOA President John Salinas just notified me that 250 White Amur (Grass Carp) were released into the lake today. It is not yet clear how the permit was obtained, or by whom, but I am grateful. The fish released are approximately 12 inches long, and should mature to a length of 30-36 inches. These fish are sterile, and strictly vegetarian.


At right is a picture of the fish. If these are caught, they MUST be released back into the lake! It is illegal to remove these fish from the lake, and a Constable will be starting a patrol to enforce.

Let’s hope these fish start making a dent in the infestation of Hydrilla.
