In January 1974, Vilis (Bill) Michaels of Newhay Fisheries, published a small booklet entitled "First steps in carp farming" Over 5,000 copies were printed and these have all been sold. Reprinted in 1987 and available at £5 per copy please go to the contact us page to order your copy.

In June, 1987 Newhay Fisheries was bought by Sandra and Colin Forsyth and renamed Newhay Carp Farm.

Newhay Carp Farm has come a long way since its formation when Bill Michaels extended his interest in the rearing of cold-water fishes from his back garden to the present site now under the ownership of Colin and Sandra Forsyth which also includes specially created lakes for anglers. Newhay Carp Farm has developed new techniques over the years to induce spawning and as a result of this work is now the foremost producer of and finglerlings in Yorkshire.
