Ferret Master Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 That's quite a broard range of fish that require different habitats. It may be worth having a long think about what type of fish your lakes can support and the stocking densities. FM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Where are you ? A local Supplier would be best for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultimate_hunter Posted January 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 thanks for the replies lads. i am in the east midlands. FM the lakes are still under construction and are being designed around the fish. we have to do this due to the planning conditions, as it will be a commercial fishery, and i am looking for the suppliers to not only buy but do some research as well. so any information is useful.

Spaniel Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 I did a google search for Carp a little while ago, and it brought some large suppliers up, dealing with all different size of fish etc. I would of thought that the Environment Agency would be able to recomm. some suppliers to you, I would search for them on the web and give them a call, Good luck with the Lakes sounds a great idea Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al4x Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 as FM says thats a broad range of fish and wouldn't usually be stocked together in a fishery or do you plan separate lakes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaniel Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Fishing , Duck shooting you are making me jealous already...good luck with the build you have to keep us updated on how things come along etc. We have 3 lakes in our club now, and we are looking at putting Bream in the new lake as we have thousands of carp in the other 2 lakes, and we wanted something different. No idea where these are coming from, but i will try to find out at our next meeting on the 17th www.polgreenfishfarm.com these are in cornwall but they give you an idea of prices etc also.

Lord Geordie Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Taken from another site Before introducing (stocking) any fish (or fish spawn) into inland waters (including all private fisheries and stillwaters), the written consent of The Environment Agency must be obtained Just incase you didn't know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaniel Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Maybe it would be worth loking around the local area to see if there are any other lakes and finding out what fish they have stocked in them. If they mainly have Carp, you may attract Anglers by stocking with other types of fish, like Tench and Bream...worth a look, at least having something different may attract more Anglers onto your lakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dusk2dawn Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 I dont want to derail Ultimates post, but while we are on the subject of fish and Carp in particular is anyone interested in fishing a top notch new Carp fishery due to open this spring in Kent. The fish are plentyfull and huge, I help look after the place usually at night PM me if you are serious carp fisherman and interested. Sorry to intrude Ultimate.

ultimate_hunter Posted January 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 thanks lord geordie. i knew this, thats what the research is for, to learn about habitats ,how easy they are to look after and so if the environment agency ask questions i know what im talking about, as me and my dad (who is doing the lakes) don't want to just create another fishing pond, but more on an ecosystem if you know what i mean.
