I have been fishing a small three lake commercial today near Worcester and I had two carp the likes of which I never seen in my life before.
Neither of them were very big, a pound maybe a tad heavier but the tail, all fins and the back were black, not dark, I'm talking jet black the lower half of the body reverted to a more normal colouring but very dark even so, the scaling indicated a perfectly normal common carp.
Anyone seen carp like this before? I am pretty sure they weren't ornamental but that jet black colouring certainly wasn't normal so who knows.
