| Re: spawning Spawning times - May-July, 16-22oC, multiple spawning with females laying around 100,000 - 200,000 eggs per kg of body weight hope this helps tightlines kevin |

| Re: spawning No disrespect to Kev, there are no set months involved in spawning. Generally when the water temp reaches approximatley 60 degrees celcius then the carp heads for the shallower areas to spawn. This can occur as much as 2-3 times a year. |

| Re: spawning not controdicting anyone but i thought i read somewhere that the water temp needs to be between 20-22c for 3 weeks to condition the eggs before the carp will spawn? is that not true? they have started to spawn where i fish too and so im going to save some money and stay away for a couple of weeks to let it all settle down again __________________ fishing for fish is not as simple as you may think! |

| Re: spawning hi carpnut no disrespect but i think you are wrong  i think 60 degrees celcius in a bit hot don,t you although there is no set month these are the most common months for spawning to occur i was allways under the impression devon dave it was three day on the trot over 16c but i might be wrong , tightlines kevin  |

| Re: spawning sorry for causing all this bother, as you can see I live in the north east of england the temprature was about 18c = 64f for about 4 days in a row the fish was in the shallows and was not interested in any bait, so I took it they were spawning. Thanks for your help |

| Re: spawning like i say kev its only something i read here is the site although i must say i think its odd that the perch's eggs are bigger than the carp's ones http://www.fishing.visitwales.com/fe...=5&n2=63&n3=66 __________________ fishing for fish is not as simple as you may think! |
