To be perfectly honest, I would much prefer a bream free water than a carp free water, I personally find bream an unwanted addition to any water. An ideal pool for my money would hold carp, tench, roach and a few perch wouldn't go amiss either, not only would this provide good fishing it would eliminate any chance of cross breeding. Horseshoe lake run by the carp society is such a water, though there are instances of the very occasional big bream being caught in the past, the bailiffs told me last year that they haven't heard of a bream being caught for afew years. Rumour has it that they were cleared out but no one to my knowledge has ever admitted to this and when I asked this question last season they told me they have just disappeared.
