Please note..
In the interest of fish care we ask that carp are always lifted from the water by means of the supplied sling. With large carp the process of just rolling up the net and taking them from the water can cause damage where undue pressure is put on either fins or internal organs.


Carp Care
The welfare of our carp is paramount. Below are a few common sense guidelines to which all our guests must adhere


Always keep your net within reach of where you intend to play fish.
When you have a fish on, it requires your full attention. Slack line caused by any distraction could result in snagged fish and unnecessary suffering and mouth damage.
Once netted, make sure the fins are folded flat before lifting from the water and when placing on the unhooking mat provided. Fins are fragile and if caught in nets can be broken easily, damaging the fish for life.


Always use an unhooking mat on a flat, shaded, soft, grassy area where possible and always away from rocks and the waters edge. Once netted, immediately place the fish on the mat. Placing fish directly onto hard bank can cause serious external and internal injuries and removes protective slime thereby increasing the risk of infection upon their return to the lake.
Always have a bucket of lake water by the side of your mat along with your scales, sling and camera. Slings should always be wet before weighing a fish to avoid removing protective slime. By having lake water to hand you can keep the fish wet and prepare it for weighing without leaving it unattended.


Never leave carp unattended on the unhooking mat. Carp sometimes flap without warning and if unattended, can easily escape your mat and injure themselves on hard ground.
Remove the rig from the carps mouth immediately and treat with antiseptic. By preventing further damage and treating the fish you are reducing the risk of infection and ensuring it remains in good condition.


When holding fish for photographs:
Support the carps weight with both hands underneath.
Do not lean or rest the fish on its stomach.
Take care not to interfere with the gills or damage fins.
Never stand to have your picture taken or hold the carp too high above the mat.
Do not over extend the carp towards the camera.
If a carp flaps whilst raised, cradle it towards your body to prevent the fish falling – you may get messy but it will prevent fatal injury.


Always use your sling or unhooking mat to return the fish to the water. Never carry it yourself.
Always remove wristwatches before handling fish.
