We introduced on Thursday 14/11/2024 9 more Carp between 16-19lb to Wix 2. As we had drastically reduced the biomass we felt it was appropriate to bolster the Carp stock with high quality, good size fish. These were from a well known fishery management company as part of a stock cropping on an unfished estate lake. We got an extremely good deal, so it doesn’t alter our existing plans for the Rectangle and Home Farm this winter in terms of stocking.
Whilst they may not see the same growth rates as the larger farmed fish we have purchased over the past couple of years, these will quickly reach low 20’s and bolster the bulk of the stock meaning all the back-up stock will be upper doubles and above, with around 16 fish of good pedigree, with feeding, to reach substantial growth rates and possibly 30lb in less than 2 years.
