Carp Everywhere!

Hi guys, I was moaning talking to other anglers in the shop over the past few days regarding the lack of carp fishing lakes in the Southwest. By carp lakes I means lakes holding double figure carp, carp that you would use carp rods and tactics to catch. I thought of Dores Pond, Abbrook Pond, Creedy Lakes, Stafford Moor and maybe Goodiford Mill which if this is all we have is pretty poor and makes carp fishing a bit of a problem in the Devon area. However on thinking back to conversations with other anglers over the past fifteen months I realised that there are quite a few more lakes that hold larger carp. (Don't moan SM this is in the Carp Fishing section).

Below I have listed some that come to mind and I will try and link them to any websites that they may have or that have information on them.

Well there's fourteen to be getting on with, one for each month of the year plus a couple of bonus fisheryies and if we stray into south Somerset or West Dorset there will be a lot more.

The plan is to fish at least one of these per month, if your up for it that is
