Stocking Carp at the Bachelier Waters


The Bacheliers have been busy! Here’s our round-up of the nettings and stockings so far this winter…

 

The well respected Bachelier family own five of our venues – Jonchery, Jonchery #7, Brocard Small, Brocard Large and Brie. Whilst these venues are all unique in their own way, they also share something in common – the fantastic looking Bachelier strain of carp.

Each winter the lakes are netted and the stocks are checked. Small fry are removed and sometimes other homebred fish are introduced.  Here’s our highlights so far;

Brocard Small

Here are just a couple of the 44 carp newly introduced to Brocard Small last week. The carp that went in weighed up to 45lb. They’ll join stocks of around 450 carp (to mid fifties) and catfish (to 110lb) already residing in this 29 acre lake.

The venue drained down and in it’s winter colours.

Jonchery

The sun came out briefly during the netting at Jonchery. Bailiffs Mark & Franck managed to get photos of their personal favourites;
