This is not an attack on carp or carp angler just the way fishing is now going.
I have just received newsletters from both of my clubs and they are carrying what I call I not being a carp lover will call Carp Pollution.
In one case they are stocking what is a good mixed fishery, Tench to 7lbs, Bream 8lbs, carp to 30lbs with a good mix of other silver fish with 500 more carp. The reason they say is that the carp are rarely caught this will make the carp fishing easier and possibly attract more members.
What this will do to the other fishing and fish on this small lake I know from past experience other fishing will go down hill. They also intend to stock more carp into other waters this year.
The other club are about to remove all the smaller carp and replace them with a number of bigger carp. All the smaller carp will dumped into one of the other lakes this lake as Tench to over 10lbs plus already a health stock of large carp.
Another club I was a member of removed large numbers of bream because the carp anglers complained about them having the cheek to take their baits.
It seems that in all these cases the God Carp now overrules all other thinking.
Does or as your clubs carried out similar schemes?
