The carp can be dead or alive. They have a large pool for live fresh ones or dead carp can go in the fridge or freezer.
Smaller carp are preferred as they don’t have to be chopped up.
If you catch any carp, please contact Kylie Donkers and her team on 0417 960 910 or drop them into the shelter in Koonoomoo.

Past and present members of the Tocumwal Community Op Shop are invited to a reunion next month, celebrating and thanking them for more than 60 years of community spirit and service.
Afternoon tea will be provided for attendees at the RSL Club on Monday October 13 from 1.30pm, and organisers are hoping to have many past members join their present members to share memories of their service.
The Community Op Shop is responsible for many annual donations to the local community, schools, clubs and organisations, and it is believed Mrs Ethel Glass was a former Red Cross Op Shop organiser.
The volunteers of the shop are grateful for the support of the wider community in raising funds through donations and purchases.
If anyone has any memories of early Op Shop days, or where the stores were located, please contact a member, so the information can be added to their archives.
