MDP Lake

MDP Lake Fish

The lake is home to approximately 130 carp, which, as of November 2024, average 34lb, with sizes ranging from 20lb to 48lb.

To establish this thriving stock, the lake was drained and netted in the winter of 2021. A few scaly originals were returned and new carp were introduced. These new fish were all young and of parentage with a proven track record of growth. The stockies were of modest size, mainly low to upper doubles. Now, more than four years on, they are growing very nicely with an average weight in the mid 30's. This is all down to their natural diet and supplementary feeding programme.

An additional hand picked dozen carp were also introduced in December 2023.
