River Thames Issue

I have something a bit special for you this month and long overdue in my opinion. Another first for carp magazines and a magazine EVERY carp anger, novice or expert, still water angler or river angler should read, a magazine dedicated solely to the greatest river in the UK, a river which glides majestically through our capital and contains some of the finest looking carp in the land – The River Thames. Every carp in this issue was caught from Old Father Thames – some huge carp – thirties, forties and a fifty. But why are so many Thames monsters being caught now? Where have they come from, and where is the best area to fish if you want to catch these monsters of the flow? This issue will answer these questions and more.

Our cover star this month and next is Ash Geden with a two-part account of chasing those Thames dreams, and what a season Ash had, landing not one but three Thames forties (one repeat) in quick succession. Read about how he caught this historic trio and the bait and rigs that caused their downfall, all exclusive to Big Carp of course.
