Carp Fishing

[wattie]

Any of you boys carp fisherman, Went for a week in france a few weeks ago, not a fishing holiday but of course took a rod. Fished a public park lake which i was told had up to 28 lb well long story but caught 22lb common and a 40lb plus mirrior, saying plus as it bottom out my scales!!!!!!!. Not bad in three hours.

Mirror was a PB and the common 3 lbs under, going back next year see if I can get him again.

nice fish, used to do a fair bit of coarse fishing but move over to fly fishing now, keen to try for carp on the fly though using the highly detailed "bread fly" or "dog biscuit fly"
