ALL FISH HERE CAME FROM SALMONHUTCH FISHERY IN DEVON, EXCEPT THE TWO COMMONS PICTURED
TOGETHER WHICH CAME WITHIN MINUTES OF EACH OTHER FROM TIVERTON CANAL "THE
TIVVY". WHILST NONE OF THE FISH ARE MONSTERS (AVERAGE HERE 14LB)THEY ARE
AS BIG AS WAS IN THE PLACES AT THE TIME, AND FORM A SMALL PART OF IN EXCESS OF
300 THAT I TOOK OVER A 3 YEAR PERIOD OF CARPING. THE MAJORITY OF FISH WERE
TAKEN ON KEY MOON DAYS IN SCORCHING HEAT! THEY MAINLY FELL TO HOMEMADE BOILIES
"EL CHEAPO" SEMOLINA AND SOYA FLOUR, WITH A BIT OF SUPERMARKET FLAVOURING AND
SWEETENERS. MOST CASES THEY WERE GROWING FUR COATS! |
THE HDAA WATERS OF THE LUGG CONTAIN MANY CARP TO LOW 20s!! THIS COMMON OF 12LB I TOOK IN 1995, PROBABLY THE FIRST DELIBERATELY FISHED FOR, CAUGHT AND PICTURED LUGG CARP. |
SOME CARP |
