The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) will pay you to fish, but only if you catch a tagged silver carp.
TWRA is running a "silver carp reward tag project" in collaboration with Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. In both Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley, fisheries will tag around 1,000 silver carp with a loop tag. Some silver carp will have an upper jaw band. |

Fishers can turn in tags and bands each for a $100 reward.
Through the project, TWRA studies the impact of removing silver carp populations and how biologists can fight this invasive species. Additionally, the project supplies data on the carp's movement, behavior and routes. |
