Carp fishing - impressions and tips

Holiday park IJsselhof is a paradise for carp anglers. The park offers various fishing spots, including the fishing pier behind the reception, the fishing lake and several fishing piers spread throughout the park. In addition, many waterfront holiday homes have their own private fishing pier, allowing you to enjoy a relaxing day of fishing right from your garden.

Lots of different fish species

Which fish will you catch?

The waterways surrounding our holiday homes are home to a variety of fish species, including common carp, mirror carp, linear carp, crucian carp and various species of whitefish.

The fish population mainly consists of carp weighing around 1 to 4 kg. We regularly stock the waters with additional carp to maintain a healthy fish population and enhance the fishing experience for our guests.

Looking for a bigger challenge? There are also some larger specimens swimming in the waters! Carp weighing 8 to 9 kg have been caught, although these larger fish are only caught occasionally.

Our fishing tip: you don't need heavy tackle. A fishing line with a diameter of 0.26 mm is more than sufficient, and a size 8 or 10 hook is a good choice. Even with relatively light tackle, you could be in for a big surprise!

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!
