£2000 of carp up for grabs for one lucky fishery

FISHERY managers are being given the chance to scoop £2,000-worth of premium British carp after a leading fish farmer decided to give a little back to the industry as it struggles to emerge from the Covid pandemic.

Viv Shears, who runs VS Fisheries with fishery scientist Simon Scott, has launched a competition under which one lucky club will win a selection of stunning commons and mirrors weighing between 9lb and 14lb, all of which have been hand-reared at the Sussex fish farm.

VS Fisheries are well known for producing some stunning looking carp

Viv said:

“It’s been a challenging year for everyone in the fishing industry, including fisheries and clubs.

“Many haven’t received funding for new fish, while others have suffered from predation and have spent stocking money on protecting their venues.

“We feel that giving something back now is a good thing.”
