The Carp Fishing Social Network

has anyone got any info on this strain all i know is there from the west counrty and were around in the 70ts my local was stocked with them and are stunning fish any info would be greatly appreciated. bm.

I'm sure Chris Ball wil know mate.

The carp supplied by the fish farm at Burton Bradstock were stocked into a wide variety of waters in the south in late 70s/early 80s. Unfortunately it was this company that supplied small carp to Farnham Angling Club in late 1986 which appeared to have had a detrimental effect on the established carp stocks of both Frensham Small pond and Bagshot Lea. In each case many of the old resident carp died. A little bit like the Indian and the common cold syndrome.
Sadly I don’t know from where the Burton Bradstock brood fish originated or indeed whether they breed their own fish or merely sold on fish from elsewhere.

thanks for the info chris wish i knew what you have forgotten do u know anything about the framlingham strain there also in there??????????????

I have little knowledge of fish from the Framlingham fish farm, other than I don’t think the bred there own, just grew on stocks obtained from other sources then sold them on.
