Top Frenchcarpangler Bruno Médou has just sent us a report from his latest trip to the central ‘Morvan’ region of France, and area rich in carp waters and renowned for the large fish that populate its waters.
The region is heavily forested with a large variety of pines, and as Bruno says it gives it a Canadian feel. The beauty of the setting contributed immensely of the pleasure of his trip.
Bruno had the good fortune to spend his trip on three different waters, which had never seen carp anglers before, and was fortunate to bank specimens on all three over the magical 15kg mark (33lb).
An accomplished photographer Bruno has sent us a series of beautiful photos. See Slideshow below:
When winter pays a visit to the lake I’m fishing, the water almost overnight becomes as clear as glass making me pay some thought to the line on my spools. When choosing line I soon came to realise you have to have a good look around as there are so many to choose from. I’ve been using Xline for some time now and I wanted a change so I decided to look at red mist line from TF Gear.
I just got home from a session abroad with some friends
When the trip was getting towards the end something happened too one of the other anglers that shocked me.
On his final morning a rat got in to his bivvy and was sitting on his face. When he woke up, and tried to scar the rat away it bit him in his ear leaving him devastated.
It was the first time I ever heard about something like this happening to an angler. But I am sure there are plenty more stories that are similar to this one.
I never encountered a thing as horrible as that, but do had some occurrences with wildlife in my fishingcareer birds cleaning my tackle cows watching me playing a fish. (more…)
I must say that James Harrison’s ‘A Different Angle’ article in last month’s Carpworld was one of the most original, contumacious pieces of no-nonsense carp-related pieces of literature I have ever read! A sweeping statement perhaps, but nonetheless, very true. I find when I read carpfishing-related articles there are often one or two points which start to fire around in my head. The old grey matter starts to wobble and bits from some long-forgotten memory suddenly come back through to the present. I used to be so envious of Jim Gibbinson with his Carpworld column ‘Let Us Talk’.(more…)
