Hi There!

Welcome to www.canalcarper.com - the ONLY web site dedicated to specimen carp fishing on rivers and canals in the UK.

With the phenomenal boom in carp fishing in the last few decades, few waters in the UK are left un-fished for big carp. River and canal fishing is suffering a decline, as 'put and take' lakes take over the match and pleasure scene.

But switched on specimen hunters are now taking great interest in our forgotten waterways for they hold some of the most rewarding fishing available.

The organizations and clubs that run these waters are often desperately in need of revenue. We will be working with authorities such as the National Federation of Anglers and The Environment Agency to help promote these exciting yet largely ignored venues.

Top names such as Paul Fletcher from Angling Lines and Terry Hearn from ESP will be here to bring you hot tips on location, tackle, bait and more. While the forum, chat and photo gallery will start to build a database of catches from around the country - helping to unlock the secrets of thousand of miles of prime UK carp water.
