Carp are one of the most sought after fish in this country. Specimen anglers spend hours fishing for large Carp, and there are now many commercial fisheries stocked with smaller fish where you can have a very good day’s sport.

The largest of the family are the Common, Mirror and Leather carp. Wild Carp do not grow as big and are not found in as many waters as the other species. The Crucian Carp is the smallest of the family, like the Wild Carp it is also harder to find.

They are hard fighting fish living mainly in still-waters but also in rivers and canals. The choice of baits for Carp is huge from maggots to boilies and a hungry Carp will eat just about any bait an angler can choose.
