A perfect common Carp taken in the margins on double sweetcorn. The float dipped and bobbed and slid across the surface only to take a sideways dive into the lily pads. Everything went still, silent, locked in, no movement, just a solid dead weight as though the hook was lodged into a tree stump. Suddenly the fish freed itself from the lillies and made a run for the centre of the pond. luckily the Hardy's Richard Walker Avon was well equipped to coax this beautiful fish to the bank to be netted by Ezra. Its not a monster fish but it put up a spirited fight and is fin and scale perfect.
