Trapped Carp
Every spring, when the carp are spawning, and the heavy rains come, carp get washed in to the New Market Flood Control waterway. The fish get trapped - the exit is blocked by a dam that prevents the fish from making it to the James River and it impossible for them to make it back in to the ponds, lakes and streams they came from. So when the waterway dries up they die. I have tried for years to get help to save them but since they are a predator fish, Fish and Wild Life Management does not want to put them back in to the ponds, lakes, rivers, and stream.
Sorry about the poor quality - the reflections and lighting were not the best.
