bowfishing

[Kent]

When I was a teenager (for those of you who don't know me -- well let's say it has been a year of two since I was a teenager) I used to bowhunt Utah Lake for the carp. I used about a 25 pound bow and inexpensive wooden arrows. I tried various arrows that came connected to a nylon line, but found they were more trouble than they were worth. They worked fine in open water -- probably a necessity, but in the grasses where the carp would spawn around Utah Lake they were more trouble than they were worth. In those days no one seemed to much care if you left the dead fish behind to rot, but now days you could get a large fine for doing that.
