We ask you to read and observe these basic fish handling rules. The reasons for these rules are to make sure our fish are well looked after and kept in mint condition.
We will supply buckets of water, for when you are lifting your fish onto the unhooking matt, so you have your water ready to wet the hooking matt, please have iodine, weighing scales and cameras ready. Please be extra careful if the weather is warm or hot.
Please enjoy your carp fishing, take lots of pictures and keep the fish out of the water for a minimum time possible. Be sure to carefully revive in the water before you release.
We thank you so much for abiding by these rules and hope you enjoy your fishing experience at La Froterie.
