MEMBERS ONLY 

There are 2 double swims that will allow 4 anglers to fish at any given time. Which is why we will only be accepting 40 Members for 2021. In order to avoid over booking. 

Lapa Specimen Camp is a private owned property (not a resort) whereby the owners have allowed Mega Carp Waters to manage and run a Specimen Angling only venue – with Specimen rules and respect to be adhered to at all times. The owners have been kind enough to invest into building 2 comfortable swims, electricity and running water for both swims as well as restroom facilities to accommodate anglers. Their only request is that those who come to enjoy their dam should respect their property and the rules set out for the venue and the angling. Which is the reason why MCW proposed a controlled membership structure for accountability.
