KANSAS CITY MO -- Two non-native fishes that can injure boaters and harm sport fishing – silver carp and bighead carp – are swarming by the thousands at downstream outlets from the dams at Longview Lake and Blue Springs Lake.

Fishermen are asked to help keep them from moving over the dams and into the lakes. If the so-called “flying fish” do enter the lakes, it will likely be due to the illegal movement of Asian carp by anglers using them for bait.
