In the beautiful countryside of Drenthe, near the town of Rolde, lies the carp water Carplantis. This 17-acre quarry is specifically designed for fishing for carp. There are four, very large, double swims to make sure there is more than enough space for every angler.

The carp stock in Carplantis is unique by Dutch standards, with an average weight of the carp well above thirty pounds, with a very large number of those fish over the forty pounds limit.
