The fish

We have totally drained, removed all snags and stocked 90 carp between 20lb to 50lb+, the majority over 30lb+, with the exception of the koï.

For years, the fish have been living their best stressfree life, being mostly unfished for, with the exception of a few hours here and there to assess condition.

The growth rates have been mind-blowing, carp unrecognisable due to their gains, thus making us search our archives for idenfication.

We only feed our carp the best foods, with optimum nutrition for their health and well-being. It is certainly working and we would like to keep it that way. Due to this there are some bait restrictions (please see rules page). 

We have no nuisance species, no catfish, no sturgeon, no crayfish.
