Carp, known for being hard fighting, fast growing and having a character of their own, are an undisputed favourite among anglers in the UK. Once introduced carp can quickly become the dominant species and can easily put on 3lb in weight a year. Carp are a very hardy species able to successfully adapt to almost any environment, being good for match fishing in the short term and specimen carp angling in the long term, the carp makes a good all round investment.
