Why pay??
There's plenty of water to fish.
Years permit cost around €35,-.
Look at google earth, the choice of water is endless.

Can I just say your country has some amazing looking carp! Both commons and mirrors.
Do your organisations / clubs have regular stockings like we do in the UK or are they all older stocked fish that have survived the years.
Some of the fish I see on Instagram and in subsurface are out of this world.
I wouldn't even know where to start in picking a venue for a trip.

All the clubs have different policies.
Some are very actif, some are not.
There are so many waters in Holland, go and have a try.
30 years ago , english anglers came over reguarly.
But nowadays, most of them go over to France, and pay a lot of money for a weeks fishing...
I understand its much saver to fish for known oversized stocks.
But whats the fun in that...
To be honest, i also did it myself

Like #21 says, it all depends on the angling association involved in the venue. I believe many English fishermen are after a big common or love to catch an 'old warrior'. We have a rather active stocking policy on a lot of lakes, so there's plenty of 'modern' strains to be caught there, with a balanced mix of commons and mirrors. The waters with a less active stocking policy are inhabited by some very nice older strains, nowadays into 70lb easily. So it really puzzles me too why people would want to pay to catch a fish.

I'm English but based in The Lowlands almost 30yrs. I doubt that the UK dayticket / syndicate business model would ever take off here (like dropping leads), there are some exceptions (Carplantis etc.) but generally a lot of carp are stocked in channels, meres, canals, rivers by national authorities. This water is often interconnected so they can end up anywhere, a bit different from sticking 10x40's, 50x30's and 100x20's in an 8 acre lake.
I mainly fish rivers and meres and love the mystery of what's in them. Having said that, some clubs will buy a 100 fish or so and stock them if the feeling is that some have died or it's 20-30yrs since fish were last introduced.
Re: Germany. I've fished there on a tourist license which may be an option - I've a mate in Berlin who's had to sit the exams and go to 'classes' for his license. I s'pose it weeds out the knobheads.

Nice one
Did you just pick a venue when you got there or planned it out beforehand?
Lake? River? Polder / canal?
