Although some sections delve more deeply into advanced techniques, it never neglects the inexperienced carp angler, leading him to a full understanding by explaining in simple terms the basics of carp fishing.

The new book offers a thorough insight into the carp itself, its feeding habits and general behaviour. This helps the angler to build his knowledge of the species and to establish a solid foundation upon which to base his choice of tackle, tactics and baits when fishing a variety of waters.
