We made a startling and educational discovery one year at a midsummer excursion. We had gone to a swimming party at a nearby river and had some unanticipated entertainment. Once we had fully saturated ourselves with sunburns, water up the nose and every kind of dive, cannonball and belly flop that can be demonstrated, we started working out way down river to the access site. As we came into the shallows with kids splashing and chasing each other, the air exploded with flying fish. Flying fish sounds dramatic and that is because it is. It is a shocking thing to see an 18-24 inch fish hurdle out of the water and even more so to see lots of them. Until then we’d heard of, but had not yet seen, the invasive Asian Jumping Carp.
