lol. You should try going and sight fishing them in a river or wild lake... much more like the thing. More importantly it would be fairer on the fish if you were using more suitable gear than a 5 weight. Carp are realistically an 8 weight fish.
Hi Chris. Its to do with the type of fish stocked. Coarse fishing is a term used in the United Kingdom and Ireland for angling for coarse fish, which are those types of freshwater fish other than game fish (trout, salmon and char). The sport and the techniques used are particularly popular in the United Kingdom and mainland Europe. The term coarse fishing originated in the United Kingdom in the early 19th century. Prior to that time, recreational fishing was a sport of the gentry, who angled for salmon and trout which they called game fish. Other fish were disdained as coarse fish.
meaning it holds carp roach bream barble dace tench etc for a match man in a fishing match or pleasure but basically stocked fish what you find in a river

Hi Martyn. Thanks for watching the film. Wild carp film has been shot and hope to have it edited over the coming months. Tight Lines. Nicky
@techsecmedia When he says 12 lb. flourocarbon line, is that being used instead of a tapered leader? Thanks for the info. Cheers
Damn i use 6lb tippit. So seeing you fight them on the line instead of getting them to the reel was weird
Wow too many fish ^^
What was his setup
would 8wt fly rods work
8wt should work nicely.
Hi i have a question about catching carp without a net and being alone, how do you recommend "landing" it?
DONT YOU ALWAYS TAKE A NET
and dont carry them from the water to the mat keep the mat right next too you to much can happen in 30 yards with a large carp in a small net
Can you explain what a "course lake" is??

+Chris Leslie I think it's "coarse lake"--as in "coarse fish," such as carp.

thanks
Matt
did you learn? just leave it and your know when to strike
What do you mean by file l strike? Do you mean set the hook?
13:38 id say 19-20lb
lol the amount of early strikes around 14 minutes is ridiculous.
Out of interest, why go carp fishing with such a small landing net?
Interesting watch though.
+1366735724825a83247 carp fishing is a completley diffrent game BIG LANDING NETS ARE A MUST!!!
While you are blabbing away about the cushion and what all, the carp cannot breathe. Get it back into the water! Good grief!
Paul Smallriver or let it die. Unfortunate these creatures are bad for the health of the fishery
i wouldnt call them flies lol more like balls of fluff no technique or finnese for carp
5 minutes bla bla nothing happened yet. bye.
