Here’s how you can earn $3 per fish while bowfishing Utah Lake carp! Utah Lake is home to one of the state’s most pressing aquatic challenges: invasive common carp. These bottom‑feeding fish stir up sediment, uproot vegetation, degrade water quality, and crowd out native species.
In this episode of KSL Outdoors, we head out on Utah Lake aboard mud boats to take part in the growing effort to control carp populations through bowfishing. Along the way, we preview upcoming carp tournaments hosted by organizations like the Utah Bowfishing Association and the Utah Lake Authority, which are offering $3 per fish to encourage anglers to remove carp from the lake.
We explore how these tournaments work, why carp removal matters, and show firsthand how bowfishing is becoming an effective and exciting tool in restoring one of Utah’s most important waterways.
It’s fast‑paced, hands‑on conservation — and a unique look at how anglers are helping protect Utah’s waters, one shot at a time.
