Fish care
As a responsible Angler, we expect you to adopt exceptional fish care. Fish care is vital from the moment you begin to land the Carp. From unhooking the Carp to preparing to weigh it, to taking photos and releasing it back into the water, it is of the utmost importance that you take care of the fish and respect our rules.
