Welcome to the competition!
Utah Lake will be hosting a year-long competition to challenge teams of up to 5 anglers in catching and removing as many carp as possible. Along with a annual grand prize of $10,000, monthly prizes include $1,000 for teams that catch and remove the most carp.
Who: You and up to 4 other anglers can compete on a team.
What: The Great Carp Hunt lasts all year! Teams go out during monthly events, catch as many carp as they can, and bring them back to the event launch to count and dispose of the fish. There will be monthly prizes and annual prizes for categories such as most fish caught, heaviest carp caught, smallest carp caught, etc.
When and Where:
All events start at 8:00am and go until 5:00pm on Saturdays and 2:00pm on Sundays.

Why: Various government agencies have worked diligently for years to remove carp with large-scale seining and now with semi-automated traps. The Great Carp Hunt will help with the removal effort, educate the public on the work of restoring the threatened June Sucker and provide an experience for anglers to participate in the work of restoring Utah Lake’s fishery.
