The fish stock in Merenye is exceptional and extremely large; more than 100 carp per week are regularly caught per swim. The fish here feed strongly and regularly; so creating large feeding areas and fishing at different distances are the tactics that are often successful in catching a lot on this lake. However, to catch larger carp, we recommend using bigger baits and fishing outside of your baited areas. We also recommend that you bring waders or high boots in order to catch and release the fish more easily.

Merenye has a mix of common and mirror carp, as well as some grass carp of good sizes. The average weight of the carp population is estimated to be about 22lb, though there are plenty of 35lb and  45lb+ carp. There are at least 25 known carp that are 55lb+ and three carp which weigh in at over 65lb swimming in Merenye. The top fish in Merenye is a real prize and weighed in at 101lb when it was caught in September 2020!
