Carp Fishing In Wales
The quality and quantity of easily available Carp fishing all over Wales has enormously increased during the past couple of decades. Wherever you stay, you will not be far from several good Carp venues whether your preference is for specimens or simply nets full of fish. They inhabit all sorts of waters going right up into the mountains to 1,300ft above sea level; some of these higher and wilder places holding surprisingly large fish. Many managed fisheries have Carp as their speciality providing excellent sport for visitors with all degrees of experience, from the novice to the expert. Monsters exceeding 40lbs are known to inhabit a few waters and in several more a 20-pounder is commonplace. Just do the right things at the right time and you could be seen cuddling your “fish of a lifetime” among those coveted “Hall of Fame” pictures on a Welsh fishing lodge wall.
a great catch
There is not really any need to bring your own bait unless you only have faith in your personal secret Carp weapons. Plenty of variety is obtainable at local tackle shops and many of the fisheries will have stocks of Carp goodies at a reasonable price as well as plenty of good advice (or even tuition, if you need it) to help you get the best from your visit.
