Strategic Carp Fishing by Rob Hughes & Simon Crow

As we move closer to the 21st century, the sport of carp angling is becoming increasingly popular. It is now a leisure pursuit for many people around the world, the attraction being that the carp is cunning and highly difficult to catch.

In this, their first book for Crowood, World Champions Rob Hughes and Simon Crow explain the methods and techniques which have brought them success on many waters around the world. There are detailed chapters on the importance of strategy; the carp and its environment; the next generation of carp; tactical considerations such as rigs, bait and the location of feeding areas; and the full untold account of how, together, they won the world Championships of 1996.

Profusely illustrated with photos - many in colour - and diagrams, Strategic Carp Fishing is written for the angler of today; it is a publication that should be on the bookshelf of all carp and specialist anglers.
