Inevitably, there are some casualities. And, it is illegal to stock carp in NJ

waters.
I wasn't commenting negatively Mark, hope that isn't how it is interpreted.

The picture doesn't show it, but there are a couple of very large Koi in that school still, so I guess someone got tired of their goldfish and liberated it, or someone's little pond overflowed. The seagulls are just waiting like buzzards for the inevitable to happen too. Thankfully, this isn't happening in the heat of July and August.

Pretty neat to see all the Christmas Trees that they anchored in that deep section, all still there providing structure for when the lake refills.
