Some bollox getting talked about carp care treatments.
This has made several clubs press the panic button and ban the use of ALL carp care products. Madness.
The tests said some products were no good, and possibly harmful, but no mention of which are the bad ones.
And also consider there are others that must be good too.
The koi hobby industry has been using posts of products for years with no issues!
And the crucial difference is the koi are not released back into the wild but are in tanks and ponds were the treatment and repair can easily be monitored.

So one week the bailiffs are checking everyone has got their carp care products.
The next week anglers are being strip searched to make sure thay haven't got any carp care products 😂

Madness, you couldnt make it up 🙄

Interesting to see that a fishery has declared on social media a decision to ban all fish care treatments for fear they may actually be doing more harm than good.

Ive always considered these treatments to be a load of old nonsense anyway and just a money maker, though i will apply if fishery rules dictate so.

Angling times have done an article on the same subject this month.
