A commercial fishing business contracted by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources captured 30 invasive carp Monday in Pool 6 of the Mississippi River, near Winona. While invasive carp have been previously captured in Pool 6 and upstream as far as the Twin Cities metro, this is the largest number captured at one time this far upstream.
The DNR is working with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and other partners to respond to this capture, which consisted primarily of silver carp.
The DNR and partner agencies closed a case with multiple violations, including attempted theft and illegal hunting. The investigation began in September 2022 as a littering case.
