Lake Carp

"The Carp is the queen of rivers; a stately, a good, and a very subtil fish; that was not at first bred, nor hath been long in England, but is now naturalised."

Sir Isaac Walton

Quality not Quantity mate ;)

Anyway here she is... all 21lb 4ozs of her, chuffed to bits as that lake doesnt hold many 20's so felt very fortunate (especially as I was 3 nil down!!)

And here she goes.

Think you've already guessed that one Nick - it was on Vamp, mate - Very impressed with it - great smell, felt confident using it. Not a massive fish (16-5), but the biggest we saw taken that day. Cheers mate :D

We now got pop ups and balanced hook baits also glug and turbo paste coming.

Hi Sam,

Good fish & welcome to the site... Theres plenty of carp waters around this area mate, no doubt someone here could point you in the right direction, I loved fishing Longleat during the closed season (but does get busy!) and had some crackers from the top (and middle) lake.

Rob.
