Whether you're restocking your fishery or enhancing your angling club's offering, we are here to meet your needs with expert care and reliability.
Tench are known for being a slow-growing species, which is one of the reasons they tend to be more expensive than faster-growing fish like carp. At our facility, we prioritise quality by ensuring all of our Tench are bred from young, healthy stock. This approach provides the fry with the best possible start in life, ensuring stronger, healthier fish that thrive over time.
Tench are a tough, bottom-dwelling fish that can leave even the most skilled anglers feeling frustrated as they try to get a bite. Their elusive nature often makes them a challenging catch, but that’s all part of the appeal. However, when you finally locate a good shoal of Tench and begin landing a few, there’s truly nothing quite like it. The satisfaction of outsmarting such a wily fish and seeing them on the bank is what keeps anglers coming back for more. It’s an experience that reminds us why we love the sport – patience and persistence always pay off in the end.
In addition to being a popular sport fish, Tench also play an essential role in the ecosystem. They are known as “ecosystem engineers” because their feeding habits help maintain a balanced and healthy aquatic environment. With their habit of rooting around in the bottom of rivers, lakes, and ponds, they disturb sediment layers which can release trapped nutrients and oxygen into the water. This activity helps maintain a diverse range of plants and animals in the aquatic habitat.
At White Water Fisheries, we are passionate about preserving our natural environment and promoting responsible fishing practices. We believe that by raising Tench sustainably and providing them to fisheries and angling clubs, we are contributing to the conservation efforts of this valuable species.
