To produce this calibre of fish we ask you to read and observe these basic fish handing rules. The observance of these rules will help keep our fish in the mint condition that you deserve.

Before lifting the fish onto the unhooking mat have a container ready full of water to wet the unhooking mat, iodine to treat the fish, weighing scales and camera ready. Slide the weigh sling under the landing net and lift the fish from the water using the sling. In warm weather be extra careful.

Enjoy our Carp and get plenty of snaps but please only keep fish out of the water for the minimum time possible and be sure to carefully revive in water before release.

Thank you very much.
