"There is a placidity about carp fishing that you find in no other kind of angling. Having laid out your rods ( you may just as well use two while your at it, with a different bait on each ), You are at liberty to smoke, meditate, read and even, I think, to sleep, if all goes well. Nothing will happen to disturb you. You and the rods and the floats gradually grow into the landscape and become part of it. It is like life in the isle of the lotus" BB 'Confessions of a Carp Fisher'
