Well, you're wrong. Plain and simple. There ARE carp in Winni as well as Winnisquam. Both lakes I have seen them swim right next to my boat. I use suckers for Bait for Ice fishing so I do know the difference. The carp I have seen were both in the 10-12 pound category. Just like Rock bass in Newfound Lake now, I have caught them and reported that to the State and they were unaware of that as well. Just Like Northern Pike in Winnisquam now, I have not but Friends of mine have caught them in there. Just like Mountain Lions in NH. State says NO, but there was one dead on Rt140 just south of MacDonalds about 2 years ago. my friend was coming up from Barnstead to meet me in New Hampton to go fishing and saw it lying there. The State really has lost contact with whats really happening with Wildlife in NH.
