-„,,15.0w..ftsldng for carp could become one of the most exciting acts•
ivities ria this part of Huron county if a sufficient number cif people
realized that their potential game was plentiful and relatively
easy to obtain. • p , •
This particular species of fish is not • sought by 'fishermen as a ,
game fish nor • 14 1t regarded as •edible by anry” residents wile are
familiar with the feeding'hab is of, this coarse species.
• Aar article in the "Fish‘and Wildlife Review" Publishe l,by the
Ontario ,department of lands and. forests . states that carp were
introduced to Ontario. lakes arid ,streams from C .iia.. During the
19th century they infiltrated our lakes and rivers in Ontario t)
the extent that today they are considered a nuisance fish by Ontario
conservation officers.
.The same story describes' a bow -fishing derby for carp •that
was organized by- archery enthusiasts along alp!, marshy section
of.the St, Lawienee river, the favorite habitat of carp. '
Frem its beginning„ in 1963; the St. Lawrence carp derby grew
to become a .copular annual event'•amnngst bgw-..awl arrow aeciicts..
The article stated that interest in bow. -fishing for 'carp had
spread to other areas of .this province.
If 'anyone around Goderldh might be considering such,a pisu'me,4
they should contact Jim McCarthy who• lives at246 Jones, stReet,tow:i
Or call 524.9836, Jim, a fo: ner Goderich native, returned here
several months ago after serving in the RCAF for a,term, While
stationed at the Trenton base, Jim and his wife organized an archery
club and since then, they have both been archery devotees.. •
About ten days ago, Jim. 'vas trying, his luck at bow -fishing fo.:• ,
carp, He stationed himself at the entrance channel near the water
filtration plant south of the harbor. With hip we lers, he enters
the shallow channel and watches for the large, lazy carp to swim
by. If he doesn't make too much noise, the carp will eventually
pass by, and they can be rea 11ly observed as they swim near the
• surface of the water, often w1:in their dQ**sal fin protruding from
the surface like a submarine's periscope. '
Bow 'fi'shermen attach a reel to their bow at the centre point
and run about 50 yards of strong nylon line from it td the arrow.
The line is attached at the arrow head and runs back through the
notch. In this manner, the arrow and the carp, if you're accurate,
can be retrieved. _
Jim stated that special fish arrows were available too, which
were equipped with detachable heads;. if sunk in the carp, the shaft
could be unscrewed and the head removed later.
Jim stated that it was necessary to spend anywhere from $25,•
to $100. to geta reliable bow; Usually, they are made of a combination
of fibre -glass and different types, of exotic woods, all of which is
lani,nated together to form a strong yet supple bow' 'hicn will
deliver up to 60 pounds thrust. Some 'bows can be bought which
will deliver' a much higher thrust, . and provide a much longer
shooting range; it all depends • on the individual's taste, what he
wishes to invest and what particular use he has in mind for his
equipment. •
From what your Signal -Star columnist has heard. and observed
about archery and the sport of bow -fishing in particular, it sounds
ass though the pastime could provide endless hours of fun, for 'either
sex. How about it Goderich sportsmen and women! Anyone for
archery and bow -fishing for carp?.
