Default RE: Carp Barrier Still not working

Craptracker err I mean Duane , while I have you on the phone, what do you think about low head dam removal in relation to Asian carp movements? The reason I ask is that here in my hometown, Danville, IL , we have an old low head damand because it has caused a few fatalities over the last few years and it is being looked at by the Universityof Illinois engineers for removal. Now the Asians have already made it this far north on the Wabash and upstream the Vermilion river but don't seem to have gotten above that dam just yet. A biologist from the U of I explained to me that the Asian carp would never be a problem further up stream as the water clarity is excellent and supposedly has a lower plankton filtration rate? Does this make sense? If removing that dam would enable the Asians to move further upstream and endanger my smallmouth bass fishing, well now they've crossed the line!
