The difference between this and other failed fish removal projects like Davis lake is that they will be draining the lake down to basically nothing. When the lake is down to it's lowest point, it really will be possible to poison it and remove everything. Depending how low it goes, there could be a 'natural' fish kill anyway due to lack of oxygen. The carp would probably survive that but the spots might not. Even if carp and goldfish are illegally transplanted back into the lake, at least you'd start out with a level playing field by killing everything. If they drain it down and let the carp live, and let the spots live, it's pointless... The lake will never be great again for trophy bass.
