Linstant Fish

The main stocking took place in 2022, 60 carp weighing between 15-25lb were welcomed to their new home. Additionally, five grass carp weighing between 15-32lb were added, along with a couple of colourful koi just to ring the changes! Since then, two more small stockings have taken place. In winter 2023, 16 carp were added, ranging from 17-44 lbs, and in winter 2024, a further six carp were introduced, including three beautiful koi.

This brought the total stock to approximately 82 carp, with the lake record currently standing at 45lb. The average weight of the carp is in the twenties. There are no catfish or sturgeon.

UPDATE - At the end of August 2026, with a relentless heatwave, the lake suffered an oxygen crash that meant a loss of some of the carp stock - the lake was temporarily closed to allow for solutions to be found and a comprehensive plan is now in place to restore the stock. The lake will be netted in October to take count of remaining stock and based on that an additional restocking will happen this winter - meaning L'instant will be back as planned for the 2027 season. We will keep this webpage up to date with all the details as it happens.
