Carp Fishing – Spring Gold Tactics – Rick Golder
Spring is the time of the year I, like most carp anglers, look forward to the most. Not only are the longer days and lighter evenings so much more pleasant than the long winter ones, but also the rewards are there be had and when the fish are often at their easiest to catch.
Coarse Fishing – Historic Chub Haul – Kane Hammond

Carp Fishing – A Year in Reflection – by Andrew Grenfell
