Grass Carp/Bow w/tethered arrow Fishing: A Candlewick resident 16 years or older with
a proper Illinois fishing lic. and a Candlewick I.D. while using a bow with a
tethered arrow may help with the removal of the grass carp. The fish must be disposed of in a plastic bag
and placed in the trash at the maintenance department. The bowfishing hours will be dawn to
dusk. Lake Management must also be
notified of the catch so they can keep track of the numbers of grass carp
removed.
