Lake owner story

Willow Pool France runs its carp records on CarpChip

Willow Pool France is an easy drive from Calais — a picturesque 5-acre carp fishing lake with a plentiful stock of around 150 stunning carp ranging from 20 lb to 55 lb. Owner Mark Poole uses CarpChip to keep a detailed digital record of every catch across the whole stock.

“CarpChip is a game-changer for keeping track of all your carp and catch reports. It helps you keep a detailed record of each catch, which can be really handy for tracking patterns and improving your fishing over time. Plus, it’s just nice to have all that information in one place!”

What the lake uses CarpChip for

• Every catch logged against a microchipped Fish ID
• Weight and capture patterns tracked across the whole stock
• Anglers log their own catches by scanning one QR code at the lake
• A daily digest email summarising every catch from the last 24 hours
