The carp catches just keep on coming from Stafford Moor with Lodge Lake producing some stunning hauls of carp. A reminder to all who fish at the Moor it is a barb-less hook only venue. Fishery’s have every right to set rules that protect the valuable fish that swim within their waters. Fish care has progressed hugely in recent decades with unhooking mats and anti septic lotions now mandatory on most venues. A far cry from the days when the more caring anglers used old cushions etc to unhook fish. It would be great if one of the carp anglers out there could write a short article on fish care for this site?
