Specimen Carp Lake

There is a large stock of specimen carp with most in excess of 15lbs, going to high twenties. The average fish weight of fish caught in 2007 was between eighteen and nineteen pounds with thirty two 'twenties' being taken. The three largest fish caught in 2007 were 25lbs 4ozs, 23lbs 2ozs & 23lbs. A 25 lbs fish has already been caught this year together with an unknown 20!

Carp under water in our Specimen Carp Lake

A group of small carp around three to five pounds has been seen recently, but none of these have been caught yet. The origins of these fish are unknown, but they may be offspring, or perhaps they were washed down from Firsby during the floods.
