Have you seen the future of carp fishing 😱

There's more detail on it here.

Looks interesting if not necessarily the traditional way of doing things.

They're only trying to provide a supply to a demand. They're a business. It's one possible future.

Can’t survive on McDonald’s for ever 😉

I saw this a few weeks back. 

He's copied a Koi farmers method of growing them on.

I think I also saw that they recently put a 60 in Monument 1.

A friend was going to join RH but £1500 is a bit steep

Out my price range I'm sure, would be OK if you did a wide verity of angling but if this was your dedicated go to, it would soon kill the mystery, would for me at least.

I think the problem with these forced large carp is they don’t last 

he said he thinks big rig died through spawning but the. It was an old fish

at 15…..

didnt some of the leney fish get to around 60 or 70 years old…

if they float your boat then knock yourself out 

not my kind of fish so couldn’t see myself ever fishing those kind of waters.

I totally agree @framey their not doing it for the fishes benefit.

Elphics comes to mind and I remember someone on here saying, in those type of venues, it's like fishing for puddle pigs.

Not my bag either

This fish however, I might be convinced to have a go for😍

That venue (Euro Aqua) is the worst of the lot in terms of "force feeding". The owner drops hundreds of kilos of particles in every day around markers. You get 100kg of particle included in your ticket, and it's not unusual for anglers to put 100kg of hemp PER DAY (!) on their spots to compete with what the owner is doing. It's no wonder the place is full of monsters. Not my bag at all.

I believe the extreme feeding is why so many of the original Simmos had a short life. They had a high fat and high protein diet. I think some fish made it to 20lb in 2 years!

I know of a few waters with original Simmos that within two years the big stocked fish were dying, yet originals were still going. 

Leney fish reaching 70years?

I'm sure Raspberry in Redmire was an original stocking from 1934, and was caught at the age of 67.

 

These commercial Fisheries are not my bag at all.

I really worry for the fish, but the instant biggest is best attitude has pervaded carp fishing. We see new records, the biggest fish in the headlines, yet we rarely see long life of these high pressure high fed fish, and that is different from 20years ago when Scar and Les Graviers and Rainbow and those fish were record swapping between them.

I'm pretty sure while those lakes are commercial very little feeding happens other than bait.

I suppose when you put it like that.....

I quite fancy Binghams in Thailand for that big carp red letter trip.

An Aripima would be very welcome.

Lucky it's fish, game birds are a similar process they are getting a good look into by all sorts of groups.

Yeah I saw this cringe material.

Don't like the guy and will never fish his waters anyway, even if they were on my doorstep!

[jules007]

This forced weight gain is just wrong, just a money making venture to put monster carp into lakes to pull the paying angler into trying for them, its not for me, i would take 30lb proper fish any day
