Michigan DNR to remove illegal carp from lake

CAMBRIDGE TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — The Michigan Department of Natural Resources plans to use electrofishing and nets to remove illegal carp from a southern Michigan lake and study other nearby lakes for the presence of the fish, officials announced Monday,

The removal effort is planned this week at Marrs Lake in Lenawee County, where officials previously said they found a grass carp. The DNR plans to sample Washington, Wolf and Allen lakes, which are connected, for grass carp DNA to see whether the fish spread.
