Junior Carp Camp 2004
Next year’s premier junior event on the Carp Society’s magnificent Horseshoe lake is one not to miss but you’ll need to be quick!
A revised format to previous Carp Schools will retain the teaching elements but there will be greater emphasis on fishing time and bank side tuition for this the newly named ‘Carp Camp.’
The Carp Camp will run from midday Wednesday 2 June until midday Sunday 6 June.
So lots more fishing and time to make new friends.
Leading carp anglers including names such as Danny Fairbrass, Bob Roberts, Ian Poole, Mark Hutchinson, Martin Ford, Steve Watson, Paul Boichat and of course our own President Matt Hayes are amongst those who regularly provide the tuition in the formal sessions.
There will be limited numbers (age range 10 to 16) and applications only accepted on the official application form available from the Carp Society office 01367 253959 or via the website www.thecarpsociety.com
New Event – Pike and Predator Masterclass at Horseshoe Lake
Horseshoe Lake will be closed from Friday 20 February until Sunday 22 February inclusive. Pike and Perch, many of them large, abound in Horseshoe and this exclusive opportunity to fish for them is being combined with expert tuition, guidance and food!
Mick Brown, acknowledged as the leading angler in the field of predator fishing will be joining us for the whole weekend Masterclass. Numbers will be limited to twenty-five anglers and the cost will be £ 85. This to include all guidance on the bank, tuition from leading predator specialists, permits and all meals throughout the weekend which will start on the Friday evening.
We have the use of the first class club facilities in the adjoining Trout Fishery for all discussions and meals, so whatever the weather it will be comfortable.
This will be open to non-members but by this announcement you have seen it first. Enquiries and booking via the Society office 01367 253969 or info@thecarpsociety.com
NB Horseshoe Season Permit holders – the season will be extended until 17 March 2004.
Announcing ‘The Alchemist’
The Carp Society has concluded a very special arrangement with Century Rods.
In conjunction with Mark Hutchinson, fellow Society member and the leading UK casting tutor, an exclusive version of the hugely successful Century NG has been designed and will be marketed under the new Society ‘Alchemist’ branding.
The Alchemist will be a 13foot 3lb SU version with 50mm ringing set-up. Mark describes the rod as a huge elastic band capable of launching bags and feeders as far as you can cast without the need for shockleaders but still retaining the feel for short-range fishing.
These fantastic rods will be available for order exclusively through the Carp Society office.
An Alchemist was believed to be able to turn base metals into gold – who knows these rods may well turn your fishing dreams into reality.
Each rod will cost £ 215 plus delivery.
We’ll be launching the ‘Alchemist’ at the Winter Show where you can place your orders at our stand.
