Your own carp water

Ok guys if money was no object and you had the chance to open a carp venue what and how would you do it and what would you stock and what pricing structure would you use?

i would hav it with a few islands and lots of overhanging trees around the lake

i would stock
common
mirror
ghost
koy

and a few Wells catfish.

i would run it as a syndicate

Those Koy Carp, are they the shy ones or did you mean Koi?

Sorry couldn't help it!

I would put just one really big Common Carp (because I like Common Carp!) in. Only one around the 30lb mark and train it to swim up and down waving it's pectorals at you. Then charge just enough to be worth it but not too much that no one would come to fish for it. I would tell everyone that there were loads in there up to 40lb then sit back and watch Dan fish for it every weekend for a month!

Sorry, I'm in that mood today. Make the most of it, it won't last!

Oh and I would stock loads of Roach just so Nidge wouldn't blank!

yep thats what i ment

i'd stock it with

Mirror Carp
Common Carp
Ghost Carp (not too many tho)
Crucians
Tench
Roach
Rudd
Perch ( to manage the population )

i would firstly want a lake about 10 acres and would create some good features bars, platues ,gullies with 4 ft margins with reeds beds but no island on it

i would stock it with ONLY mirrors fully plated and linears and commons and no other species

ideally i would stock with 600 carp over 15lb

300 at 15lb

150 at 15lb to 20lb

100 20lb to to 30lb

40 30lb+

10 40lb +

i would run it as a day ticket water at £20 for 24 hours for 10 1/2 months and with a maximums stay of 48 hours only
15 swims ONLY and would be wood chipped and well spaced out

a monthly comp for young anglers who catch the biggest fish for that month
regular junior fish ins would be arranged

there would be an on site shop and toilets/shower facilties


ALL UNHOOKING MATS WOULD BE SUPPLIED

RULES
-------
no barbless hooks

12LB LINE MINIMUM

NO BRAIDED MAINLINE

NO LEAD CORE

NO BAIT BOATS

MAXIMUM STAY 48HOURS

PARTICLES AND NUT CAN BE USED BUT PURCHASED AND PREPARED BY THE FISHERIES

ALL UNDER 16,S MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY AN ADULT

all parties would supply car registration at booking of swims so any rubbish left or damage to swims will result in a life time ban
