A fishing tool?

[TerryC]

I found this while fishing at the power company forebay, above the middle fork of the Stanislaus. What is it? My guess, a homemade tool to "pick apart" line knots. Tnx. TTC

As far as the carp: We have them here. I believe they are put into the lakes to eat the weeds or algae. They are huge but they cant reproduce.

As far as the ID: Can we keep guessing even though it has been solved?

....is there a disagreement with the worm threader ID?

Those are called Grass Carp,you are talking about Big Cy.We dont have them here although I wish we did!!Hydrilla is taking over out here.They do need to be controlled though even though they are sterile because they can do too good a job.They are presently doing a Grass Carp removal in parts of Texas

Hydrilla is bad. I think manatees will eat it lol.

The Hydrilla was so bad last year I couldnt canoe up the Turner River to one of my favorite hunting spots.

We have a few types of King Carp here...Common and Mirror, leather (no scales) and the much smaller Crucian Carp along with the grass carp.This lack of scales is widely believed to have been bred in by monks in order to make the fish easier to prepare for the table.The name "Mirror Carp" originates from their scales' resemblance to mirrors. The difference between mirror and common carp is both genetic and visual - biologically they are similar.
The mirror carp was the first mutation of common carp, owing to two alternative genes, the S allele and the N allele. Common carp have an even, regular scale pattern, whereas mirrors have irregular and patchy scaling, making many fish unique and possible to identify individual fish by sight, leading to most carp in the UK over 40 lb being nicknamed.
The current world record (as of November 2010) stands at 99lb (45kg), caught from Luke Moffat's Les Graviers near to Dijon in France.
I have shown a typical Carp Fishing 3 rod set up

Great info S.S..We have mirrors and Leathers North of here,but in 20 years of bowfishing,I have never seen one here.We do get some big Koi,(we dont shoot them)they are a beautiful fish!!The grass carp get huge too,an 80 lber is not uncommon.The Silver/Bighead carp are taking over back east,this is really tragic!!

Thats a serious fishing set up right there!!

I posted a thought in general discussion about starting a fishing thread on T.Net, only recieved three replies yet I know there are a lot of fisherman on T.Net
It thought it would be a great thread to swop idea's and fishing methods, and tackle and also show some of the fish that we catch.
