Practical Carp Fishing - Tapa dura

The popularity of carp fishing has increased dramatically during the last thirty years; many now regard the sport as a separate branch of angling in its own right, alongside coarse fishing, game fishing and sea fishing. This very practical and accessible book examines the characteristics and habits of this cunning species of fish. There are books of all kinds but this volume is particularly aimed at the coarse angler with some experience, who has decided to enter the exciting world of carp fishing for the first time, and at relatively inexperienced carp anglers who wish to improve their catches.

Graham has written in every issue of Coarse Fisherman since its first issue in 1975 and is managing editor of the UK's foremost angling website www.fishingmagic.com Resident - Staffordshire Mark Wintle has been fishing for forty years and although a true all-rounder, he has a real liking for catching carp of all sizes using a variety of methods.
