Yes, Grass Carp were stocked in Lake Monticello in 1998 (3076 yearlings) and 2001 (380 yearlings) to control the coontail (at least that was what I was told). In 2008, Diana and I rode with some bow fisherman (one was a good friend of mine) to try to remove some of the grass carp from the lake. We rode along to ensure no game fish were shot. We started working on having a large group of organized bow fishers to bow fish the lake but not sure what happen with that after I left.

They are continuing to fertilize the lake. I was told it wasn't done this year but I believe there are plan to do it next year.

Feel free to contact Diana at [email protected] about future plan for Monticello and Cane Creek.

Please voice your concerns, we need to hear from more anglers.
