The Spawn
The Spawn
“Ahhh yeah!” –said Everyone
Starting in May and through July, the carp will move into the warmer, shallower water to spawn. The larger females are full of eggs and the aggressive males will slam and push into the females. These carp will churn the water into a furry!
Basically, it’s the ‘carp rut’
The Fish Poem
ALTHOUGH you hide in the ebb and flow
Of the pale tide when the moon has set,
The people of coming days will know
About the casting out of my net,
And how you have leaped times out of mind
Over the little silver cords,
And think that you were hard and unkind,
And blame you with many bitter words.
-W.B. Yeats (Clearly a bowfisher,
who just missed a spawning carp.)
“I’ll follow him around the Horn, and around the Norway maelstrom, and around perdition’s flames before I give him up.” –Captain Ahab, (clearly referring to spawning carp)
