No Kill!!
Although carp were bred for the table originally, those days are gone and carp fishing andf catch and release is now the biggest area of our sport today. Saying that though, there are now a few carp farms sprouting up that rear small carp especially for the table as there does seem to be a growing demand to eat them in some countries, but as long as these table carp come from these special farms and not someones fishing lake then that is okay. The UK has suffered from many carp being caught and killed in the last few years by ignorant people who don’t realise we catch and release. It has been very damaging for some of these waters as the carp are very expensive and hard to replace.

Those are some big carp. I’m stuck here in France at the moment, and they seem to be all that are here (I haven’t caught any THAT big yet). I can’t quite get into carp fishing. I’m more of a catfish man.

Do you eat them, or just catch and release? I think I would like them better if I could find some good recipes.

I am going to keep playing the margins with one rod and leave the two in deeper water alone, till fingers crossed a carp makes a mistake!
Good luck next May…I am sure I will hear from you before then, and I will have finished my Italian tour by then, so hopefully I will have kept you entertained along the way!
