FAQ

• What type of fish will I be bowfishing for in Minnesota?

  You will be hunting for the common carp, bullheads and dogfish. The common carp is the most ‘common’ fish we see. The common carp is a large omnivorous fish. It has large scales and a long dorsal fin. Carp were introduced to the United States in 1877 to be used as a food source by the United States government. They can lay up to 1,000,000 eggs per year. They cause damage to the lakes by destroying plants and eating large amounts of game fish eggs.
