This week began the start of an intensive carp removal process in the Mississippi River near Eau Claire using a technique called the Modified Unified Method (MUM). Jordan Weeks with the Wisconsin DNR Mississippi River Team updated us on how the first day went at the river.
In an email, Weeks explained that the first day went well. He goes on to say that they didn’t capture any bighead or silver carp, but they did catch a good amount of native species. Weeks explains that they caught paddlefish, bigmouth buffalo, white bass, northern pike, walleye, black crappie, and a few others.
We look forward to hearing more from the department by the end of this week.
