Carp fishing - impressions and tips
Holiday park IJsselhof is the ideal location for fishing enthusiasts. Fish at the fishing spot behind the reception or in the nearby fishing lake. Additionally, you can also fish from your own dock at all the holiday homes located by the water, offering an even more unique fishing experience!
Fishing on Holiday Park IJsselhof
The inland waters of Holiday Park IJsselhof are connected to the IJsselmeer and almost all our holiday homes have their own fishing jetty. Around the park there are various fishing spots and jetties where you can fish in peace and quiet. So don't forget your fishing rod!
Waterfront holiday homes with a fishing jetty
The Hoorn Wellness 4 and Hoorn 6 are located by a wide waterway with a beautiful view. Most of the Medemblik-type homes are situated along our intermediate canal, where many small carp can be found. Fish right from your own holiday home!

Since 2020, we have partnered with carp specialist Mark Breedveld of CarpCare. See below for Mark's fishing tips and Carpcare products. Together with Mark we are working hard to create an even better fishing experience.
When is the best time to fish for carp?
Carp fishing can be done all year round! However, the best time is when the water is warmer than 14 degrees Celsius. Carp will then spend most of the day actively searching for food. But when exactly is that? You’ll have the most success fishing for carp from May to October!

Wanneer kan er het beste op karpers worden gevist
Karpervissen kun je het hele jaar door doen! De beste tijd is echter wanneer het water warmer is dan 14 graden Celsius. Karpers gaan dan het grootste deel van de dag actief zoeken naar eten. Maar wanneer is dat dan precies? Het meeste succes tijdens het karpervissen zal je hebben in de maanden mei tot en met oktober!

Fishing tips from Mark
Will you be carp fishing at IJsselhof? Then throw some Carp Pro Plus pellets bait in a few spots, in the deeper sides, and fish on top of them with your float or pen. Fish as light as possible: with a small float and little lead shot. Use a 6 millimeter Carp Pro pellet as bait and attach it to the size 8 hook with an elastic bait band (see photo). These pellets and rubber bands are available at the reception desk and can also be pre-ordered while booking your stay. We also feed with these pellets ourselves, so the carp feed well on them.
When fishing with fixed lead, use 30 to 50 grams of lead and a 25 centimeter long leader, because of our soft West Frisian bottom. If you want to fish heavier we advise a helicopter system, where the bait is always on top of the ground. Extra tip for fixed lead fishing: use a top lead. Keep 2 to 3 meters distance from the shore, so the carp are less disturbed.
Carp Pro Feed
For the health of our fish, we recommend Carp Pro Plus 6 millimeter pellet fish food, as well as Carp Care Wound Seal for healing wounds after fishing. Both can be purchased at our front desk or while booking your vacation. When catching, the use of a landing net and unhooking mat is recommended.
