Carp Stocked at Holly Pools in France
Since deciding to use Angling Lines to represent Holly Pools from 2013 onwards, we have had many discussions about all aspects of the business with the Angling Lines team. What has become clear is that, having represented tens of fisheries all over France, there are certain directions that almost always give positive results. Stocking fish from the Michele Bigot fish farm seemed to be one thing that ALL the Angling Lines venues agreed was a positive thing. Strong young fish, with good shapes, and great genetics for strong growth rates are the trademarks of Bigot carp.
At Holly Pools we have some fantastically strong fighting commons that go up to upper 30’s (42lb when about to spawn!) but very few mirrors. We decided that we could improve the genetics in the lake, increase the variety of the fish and potentially add some fish with the capability to go on towards 50lb in the next couple of years. If you look at the pictures you can see that here are some fish any angler would be delighted to catch!
