wHY CARP FISHING AS A SPORT FISH
In most parts of the world the common carp is the premier sport fish, and the third most important fish in the world for aquatic agriculture. It is mostly in North America where these fish are misunderstood due to a lack of education and species identification. The common carp and its genetic twin the mirror carp are some of the best fighting freshwater fish available in our waterways and we aim to promote the capture, release, education and preservation of common and mirror carp for future generations of anglers to enjoy
