Build the fishery every angler wants to visit.
Stock the lakes. Shape the swims. Run the shop, the cafe and the grounds. Carp Tycoon turns the quiet craft of running a commercial fishery into a management sim with real depth.
A fishery is a living system. So is this.
Start with a single overgrown pond and a modest budget. Clear the margins, dig new lakes, stock them with the right mix of commons, mirrors and specimens, and watch your reputation spread by word of mouth. Every decision ripples: overstock a lake and the fish stop growing; neglect the facilities and your day-ticket regulars drift elsewhere.
Carp Tycoon rewards patience and planning over button-mashing. It's a sim for people who find genuine satisfaction in a well-run operation — the same people who'll happily sit on a bank at 4am waiting for a bite.
What you'll be managing
Stock & grow fish
Introduce species, balance carrying capacity, and manage water quality so your specimens keep putting on weight season after season.
Build the grounds
Lay out swims and pegs, build a tackle shop and cafe, add a car park, and landscape the grounds to keep anglers on site and spending.
Run a real business
Set day-ticket prices, manage seasonal demand, hire bailiffs, and reinvest profits. Reputation is your most valuable currency.
Weather & seasons
Conditions matter. Frontal weather, water temperature and time of year all shift how the fish feed — and how busy your fishery gets.
Named specimens
Grow the lake's legends. Certain fish become famous, drawing anglers from across the country hoping to bank a new personal best.
Progression that lasts
From a single pond to a multi-lake complex with a waiting list. Deep systems that reward long-term thinking, not micro-transactions.
A fishery worth building
Work-in-progress captures. The art direction is atmospheric and grounded — no cartoon gloss.
