Please find below a description of the fish we offer for sale each year. Many of our customers order several months in advance of the actual delivery date to ensure they secure the fish they need as demand for our fish often exceeds our production. Our harvesting and delivery period normally runs from late October through till late March when water temperatures are lower meaning the fish are less stressed by the entire harvesting and delivery process.
Please contact us for full details of the fish we currently have available at this time.
These hand selected fish range from 3.5 to 5.5lbs in weight and, during the winter of harvesting, will be 2.5 years old. In the right waters we would expect these fish to be nearing or into double figures a full year after introduction. One exceptional example of the potential of our fish is highlighted by one fishery that received some 4lb fish in November 2005 and by the following winter they had reached in excess of 12lbs.
If our C3s aren't special enough then each year we hand select our best 3-summer fish to on grow them for a further summer. We expect these fish to weigh between 7 and 11lbs upon harvest. The fish we have available as C4's are definitely very special and previous spawnings from the same parent brood stock have produced fish that are already approaching 40lbs at only 9.5 years old.
As with our C4 carp we hand select a small number of our best 4-summer fish to on-grow for a further season. These carp really are the cream of the crop and are very special. We would expect these fish to be between 13 - 16lbs at harvest.
During the winter of 2008 / 09 we also have a number of C6 carp available that will be from 17 - 23lbs approximately. These fish are lighter scaled than our smaller fish they will certainly add to any fishery in the country and rest assured they are to VS Fisheries high standards.
Looking for other fish apart from the carp we offer? With our extensive knowledge of fish farms around the UK we feel confident in the fact that we can source top quality farmed coarse fish of most species for your fishery. Please contact us for further details and prices.
