Name your carp in the 40lb plus club
As a bit of fun we have decided to start a 40lb+ club at Carpquarry and if you catch an un-named fish you get to name it or we can do it for you by anglers name,shape,markings,bait or a mix of them.
To qualify as a member you need to catch a 40+ from Carpquarry, take a photo of both sides, note details of location,bait and date. Supply these to us at Carpquarry so that we can use them for marketing but also for our records of weight gains etc. Details of each 40lb plus will be in the house with details of weight gains over time.
As a reward members of the Carpquarry 40lb plus club you will get 20% off the standard website price for your future holidays for you and your party to Carpquarry.
So whats the chances of a 40lb plus ?
Well we estimate that at spring 2010 there are 10 x 40lb plus carp in the lake from the stocked fish. The carp at 40lb13oz that Rob has just caught (Dorothy)was not one of the expected 10x40lb+ carp. There is only 2 members to the club at present but this is only due to the lake being very lightly fished so far.
So book a holiday with us at Carpquarry and get yourself in the club.

Stock levels and carp fishing tactics at Carpquarry
We have had lot of enquires about the amount of fish in the lake in winter 2008 we put in 120 carp from Neil a good friend of mine from www.frenchcarpsupplies.com mainly mirrors with the smallest at 23lb and the largest at 45lb with the average fish at 30lb So if you are a lake owner in France Neil is the guy to see with any problems or buying fish. This is in addition to the stock already in the lake we know that there are mirrors and commons and wildies but we are unsure about how big they are or how many but would think the total stock is around 200.Carpquarry is not a runs water due to the depth but it is one of the best small carp fisherys for large carp and most anglers land a 30lb plus carp on there holiday, The avearage fish for 2009 was just over 32lb.
We are asked for detailed stock so I have put together a list of fish / expected sizes for 2010 - 20 x 25-30lb, 70 x 30 - 35lb, 20 x 35 - 40lb and 10 x 40lb plus pushing 50lb in addition to this is the original stock.
There are also very nice Rudd, Perch and trout.Due to the depth of the lake if you come fishing at Carpquarry dont forget to have one rod close in 15ft max from bank under your feet big fish over 35lb have come out within 5ft of the edge mainly caught on a single boilie on a small bed of Carpquarry pellet.There are a couple of things that you want to avoid doing when fishing at Carpquarry as the lake is rock do not hammer in bivvy pegs/rod rests or stomp about the vibration from this will spook the fish and kill your fishing for a day or two, also there is no need to put in alot of bait by doing this it will only make the fishing harder little and often is better.We recommend that you use our baits as the fish are use to them but there is no problem in bringing your own but dont buy cheap baits you will not catch, get the highest quality bait that you can. There is no problem with particals as long as they are pre-made from a company like Dynamite baits. If you want any more tips or info please feel free to call me.
Good luck and look forward to welcoming you
