Please could you tell me the average spawning dates in France.
Hi Robert,
This is a very difficult question to reply to as there are so many factors involved. Much depends on the depth of the lake, the amount of sun it recieves and other factors that might effect water temperature such as springs, river inlets etc…
As a general rule carp are unlikely to spawn before mid May, but the period can extend into June or even July on deeper more shaded gravel pits.
On particularly cool summers the fish might not spawn properly at all, indeed if this happens on a number of consequtive years it can even lead to fish deaths.
