European-Style Carp Fishing

Carp fishing is popular in Europe simply because carp grow to enormous sizes and put up an extremely hard fight. Their rapid growth combined with being extremely common, make them a sort-after fish for many anglers.
The community around carp fishing has attracted a multitude of new anglers in recent years who all share a passion for a fish that is undesirable to most of the world. In the UK this becomes apparent when stepping into any angling store or visiting a fishery.
With over 25 carp fishing holiday venues in France and across Europe to choose. Carp fishing holidays in France have been popular since the early 90’s, with pioneer anglers such as Steve Briggs saying carp fishing holidays to waters such as Saint-Cassien were some of his favorite trips. Fast forward 20 odd years and anglers are still making the trip across the channel in pursuit of the gigantic carp Europe has to offer. Top angler Darrell Peck can often be found carp fishing large expanses of French public water such as Forêt d’Orient or chasing chunks in the Belgium canal systems.
