Actually they aren’t breeding or spawning they’re digging up mud to find food. Thats why they are considered pests(Carp).

I witnessed this at Lost Lagoon too! I’ve lived near the park for many years and often go down to Lost Lagoon but I’ve never seen this kind of activity before. I assume these fish are giant carp. I was amazed to see all these giant fish causing turbulent areas in the pond – all over the pond too, not just at the shoreline.

You should have seen the girl that caught my attention to what was going on. She was pretty freaked out, eyes wide open. That much movement in the water was eerie.

Hey there. I witnessed the same event last year and I had the same reaction. After walking along the shores of Lost Lagoon for a year I was amazed at the extent of the noise, size and quantity of the fish. At first I thought there was something being attacked in the overgrowth. I couldn’t believe how big the fish were. I too figured that they were spawning in the river beds. I wasn’t sure of their species but thought they were some kind of carp. I read that originally Lost Lagoon was open to Coal Harbour.

So I guess there could be a Noodling competition at the Lost Lagoon? (Don't look at me, I'd never do something that bizarre).
