Isn't it illegal to return any carp - alive or dead - to the water?

This is correct.

You can't even dump them within a certain distance of the water.


OK, if you believe this to be so, can you please quote your reference so
that we all know the facts, The NSW Dept of Primary Industries indicated
that LIVE carp can not be used as bait, leading one to believe that DEAD
carp can and also that DEAD carp can be placed back in the river to feed the
shrimp and yabbies.

I was told this about 15 years ago by a NSW fisheries officer just prior to the
commencement of an ANSA fishing tournament on Burrinjuck Dam.
