I managed to find a couple of hours this afternoon for a spot of fishing and was rewarded with this lovely mirror carp from my local pond. I caught lots of perch and roach before this lovely fish took the bait. It put up a proper fight through weed but my trusty Allcocks split cane handled it all the way to the bank. It took a piece of luncheon meat on a size 14 hair rig. Wonderful! My first carp of the autumn season.
