Following the Growth of the Carp in Harry's Lake
At Harry’s Lake, we’ve had the unique opportunity to observe and document the growth of our carp through several spawning periods—and the results have been nothing short of exciting.

Following the Growth of the Carp in Harry's Lake
The photos we’ve taken showcase carp from three key spawning events:
September 2024
April 2025
End of May 2025
With each new batch, the difference in growth rate is easy to see. From fry to juveniles, the development over these months has been impressive. Some of the May fish are already catching up in size to the earlier spawns thanks to the warmer water and ideal feeding conditions.
Looking Ahead to November
This coming November, we’ll be netting the carp and grading them. This is when we separate out:
The most stunning-looking fish
The fastest growers
These standout individuals will remain in Harry’s Lake to grow on. The rest will be sold to our trusted local fish farmer, where they’ll continue to thrive in new waters.
Building a Lake Full of Stunners
We’re incredibly excited about what’s developing here. With such strong early growth and striking scale patterns already showing, we’re confident that some of these fish are future 20lb+ specimens in the making.
This is just the beginning—watch this space as we continue to grow and shape something truly special at Harry’s Lake.
The first four photos are from the end of May spawning 2025.
The second four photos are from April spawning 2025.
The last two photos are from September spawning 2024.
