Carp fishing is one of the most exciting freshwater fishing sports it is growing in popularity, whether it’s with anglers who like to catch up on their reading while by the lake, or by serious sportsmen who are willing to wait for the freshwater fight of a lifetime. Carp have been in this country for so long that they are considered locals. Bait is something that differs from lake to lake and in some French carp lakes they will only allow specific types of bait or certain types and it is a necessity to check this before you go. Anglers frown upon carp residing in bass lakes, but anyone can quickly learn how to appreciate these hard fighting fish the very first time they hook up. Fly fishing is a specific type of fishing and therefore requires a specific type of carp fishing rod however catching carp is a lot easier than enticing game fish to the hook. Hook wounds and damaged fins are treated with antiseptic. Carp fishing is a popular pastime in the United Kingdom and Europe (on par with bass fishing in the US) and is growing in popularity here at home.
