Lake with carp needs netting

[Nick.]

Hopefuly this in the right section.
We’ve got a lake approx 1.5ac that needs netting. It’s stocked with Carp and I believe some Tench.
Looking for recommendations for someone to net it and pay for fish on a price/lb basis.
It’s hardly ever fished. So they should be good clean fish.
Based Warwickshire.
Cheers

Netting for re-stocking?

The tench should be worth good money

It very rarely gets fished. Only friends and family. Ie a dozen or so times a year.
Plus fed regularly for ducks

There have been some nice fish caught in it.
There’s a lot of silt so I’m wondering if it might be best electric fished.

Furness Mill fisheries netted a friends lake - a few years ago now.

Are you planning to re-stock it?

Contact your nearest Polish food shop and then wait until Christmas time.

I can't see a Polish family paying these prices for a Sunday roast...

I have no idea what they will pay, but the alternatives are to eat them , give them to dogs, sell them as stock for another lake or sell them to the Poles - I guess the last will be easiest, but if sale makes more...

Usually someone will net or electrofish, pay you for the fish and deduct a fee for their efforts.

I know! Many lakes, rivers etc have major issues with fish "going missing" to our Eastern European friends.

If the Tench are a decent size the Tenchfishers will probably be interested in them. Big Tench rarely come up for sale as far as I am aware.

No, not restock it. But we’d leave in enough mature fish and some smaller stuff to breed and grow on.

Hi Nick,

We are farmers and fishery management service providers in Somerset we net and electrofish lakes and will purchase surplus fish etc, if interested it best if we have a chat on the phone as it is not just a matter of us turning up and netting a lake there is various paperwork that need to be completed by I can run through that with you, what is the postcode for the lake just so I have a look on google earth.

Many thank
