Restocking of Grass Carp at the Lake on March 21, 2023

150 sterile Triploid Grass Carp were released into the Greene Acres lake on the evening of March 21, 2023. Grass carp, under good conditions, are used to help control aquatic vegetation. Permitted under the Virginia Wildlife Resources (DFV)

www.dwr.virginia.gov/fishing/fish-stocking/

Under good conditions, a five-pound fish will eat about five pounds of aquatic plants a day. 

Our newcomers need at least 12 months to settle in their new home - so if you catch one, please gently release them back into the lake. 

There are bigger fish to catch!

 Grass carp generally only consume submerged vegetation that has soft/tender, non-fibrous stems and leaves. Some common plants they will readily consume are hydrilla, elodea, bladderwort, coontail, najas, milfoil, potomegton spp. (pondweeds), chara, and nitella.  

GA K9ers meet at Chris Greene Lake Dog Park typically one weekday and one weekend day (weather dependant!).

For February:

Chris Greene Lake: Thursdays at 12:30 and Sundays at 1 pm.

If Saturday looks much better, it’s Saturday. Anyone in the chat group can suggest any day and time, and those who can, will join. 

Contact Trish McQuire to be added to the chat group and for more info.
