Welcome to the Year of the Carp

By JC Weeks

February 8th 2016 marked the beginning of the Chinese New Year, aptly named the year of the Monkey. Here at Fishwest we are choosing to celebrate the Year of the Carp. What does this mean exactly? Well, we can’t give all of our secrets away yet but stay tuned. The Fishwest Year of the Carp celebration will be on April 30th so please, save the date.

Follow Fishwest on Twitter, Instagram & Facebook for more on the Year of The Carp.
