Price List

Below is a description of the fish that we produce at VS Fisheries. Our harvest / delivery season generally starts in late October and finishes in early March whilst water temperatures are at their lowest. This minimises the stress on the fish during the entire harvest and transporting process. Due to demand, many of our customers are now ordering their fish at least 18 months in advance to ensure we can supply them.

Whilst demand is high for our fish please contact us for details of the fish we have available for the forthcoming winter and beyond.

3-Summer Carp (C3)

These hand selected fish range from 3.5 to 6 lbs in weight and at harvest will be 2.5 years old. In rich lightly-stocked waters we would expect these fish to be nearing double figures a full year after introduction. The exceptional potential of our C3 sovereign strains are highlighted by a number of fisheries that were stocked in November 2009 at around 4.5lbs average and by the winter of 2010 the front runners had reached in excess of 14.5 lbs.

4-Summer Carp (C4)

These 4-summer carp are one of our most popular age classes. At harvest we expect these hand selected fish range between 7 and 11 lbs and are 3.5 years old. From our experience these fish are the ideal size for introduction into established specimen carp fisheries that are looking for their big fish of the future. It is recommended that orders for this age class are placed at least one year in advance due to their popularity.

5-Summer Carp (C5)

These 5-summer fish are 4.5 years old and range between 12 to 17 lbs at harvest. In the right waters we would expect these fish to be close to 20 lbs or above within a year of introduction. Demand for these fish is always very high and ordering at least 18 months in advance is suggested. We ensure that some males are selected within this year class and often these are towards the lower end of the size range and males will be included in all orders.

6-Summer Carp (C6)

These fish are truly the cream of VS Fisheries carp as they have been hand selected over the previous 5 years. Annually we now produce a number of these fish which are all in excess of 18lbs at harvest with many of them being between 20 - 23 lbs. Demand for these fish is very high and we recommend that they need to be ordered at least 2 years in advance.

Smaller Carp

We do, on occasion, have surplus of smaller fish (2 to 10 inches) once we have finished our harvest in late February. If you are interested in fish of this size please enquire for prices and availability around that time of the year.

Pellet Supplies

We are happy to supply customers with the various pellets that we use to produce our fish. For further details and prices please contact us to discuss your requirements.

Additional Services

We also offer a PIT tagging service so that your fish can be individually identified via the uniquely coded tag which is inserted into the shoulder of the fish. Many fisheries now tag all their fish for security purposes in a bid to reduce the risk of fish theft from their fisheries. We can supply all the required equipment such as hand held scanners and high quality signage for your fishery and boundary fences. Additionally we can arrange for your tag codes to be entered onto the national Pet Log database for a small extra charge. If you require further information on this tagging service and the current prices please call us.

Placing an order with VS Fisheries

Should you wish to place an order or have any queries about our fish and availability please call either Viv or Simon on the numbers in the contact us page on the website.

Due to demand we are happy to take provisional orders well in advance of the anticipated winter of delivery. All orders must be confirmed by email or in writing at this point.

We will then write to you during the April / May before the fish will be harvested and delivered later that winter to confirm the order formally. At this stage we will require a minimum of 10% deposit on the fish and also ask for all the fishery details which we require to complete all the Environment Agency Consents that are required. Receipt of the deposit and stocking details information then acts as your final confirmation of your order.

Delivery Charges

Orders below £3000 exc VAT are liable to a delivery charge.
Orders above £3000 exc VAT are delivered free of charge up to 100 miles from our site.
Exact delivery costs are dependant on the distance from our farm and will be confirmed when you place your order.

With orders that consist of more than one year class of fish we will endeavour to deliver all your fish at the same time but in exceptional circumstances this may not be possible due to our harvest schedules. Delivery charges will apply to both deliveries but we will keep these costs to a minimum.

Consent Costs

All Section 30 paperwork completed by VS Fisheries will be charged at £10.00 per standard consent to cover administration costs.
