Before anyone jumps on me,i love carp fishing,i always have, BUT............
A pal sent me a mail asking if i could recommend a nice old fashioned tench lake in the Midlands......you know the kind, pin head bubbles fizzing around your float as light breaks........no huge fish but the hope of something special amongst the 2 to 4lbers.
My own first tench came from a park pool where i saw my bread paste "disapear" in the murcky water just before the float went........the renowned "Captains Pool"then gave me more traditional tench catches.
I really was disapointed not to be able to give my pal a list of waters to go at.....i couldn't and the reason was that carp had taken over most of the waters i used to know.......every one seems to want to fill everywhere with them.
My question is.......is it now time to call a halt? are we depriving future anglers ofthe whole spectrum of angling by this mass stocking ofcarp?
As i said i love carp fishing..............so don'tthink me anti carp, i just love to fish as my mood dictates...........and it's getting so i can't.
