PHOTO OF A LIFETIME

For carp photography, at least one knee on the ground to hold the fish which should be done only over the carp craddle.
– Never stand up while holding the fish.
– If the fish flaps whilst holding it, simply bring the fish into your body then place back on the craddle. Recover with sling and wait some seconds.
– Some fish are very difficult to handle for photos, in which case it is better not to insist on one or two extra photos. The health of the fish comes first
– Wet the fish up from the bucket provided, again and again…
– All fish should be returned to the lake using the sling provided.

– Do not necessarily take photos of both sides of the fish. The fish should not be out of the lake for more than 2 or 3 minutes, so make sure that everything is ready before you take the fish out. The sooner the carp is back in the lake the better.

Our fish are now of considerable size and we want them to increase even more, so following these steps will avoid any fatalities on the bank. The rules are standard and are there for the well-being of the fish and to ensure first class fishing for everyone.

Carp Over 45 lb

Fish Care First

For carp weighing over 45 lb, we strongly recommend taking photos in the water whenever possible. Our new weighing system has been specifically designed to allow fish to be weighed either on the bank above the cradle or directly in the water. This gives you the flexibility to adapt to the situation while always prioritising fish safety.

If, while the fish is still in the landing net, you believe it is close to or above the 45 lb mark, we ask you to use your waders and carry out everything in the water: weighing, photos and release. Please do not hesitate to ask your friends for help.

The water depth in front of the swims is perfectly suited for this approach, and we provide floating air cradles that are ideal for in-water fish care. In most cases, photos taken in the water are actually easier, calmer and often look better.

Thank you for respecting this approach, which helps us protect our fish and keep Legendia Carp in the best possible condition for the future.
