"Practical Carp Fishing is written in a down-to-earth common-sense style and covers everything the carp angler needs to know, from the fish itself and where to find it, through approaching the water, tackle, baits, snag fishing, striking, playing and netting, to photographing the catch." A good book from a carp angler who knows what he's doing.

Nevertheless, the rest of the content remains useful and deserving of a place on the carper's bookshelf. Chapters include: The carp; Location in the 1990s; Approaching a water; Modern carp tackle; Modern carp rigs; Modern carp baits; Long-range carp fishing; Snag fishing; Winter carp fishing; Striking, playing and netting your carp; Photography for the carp angler; Care and conservation. .…
