For people like Gareth and myself who now live in France, I presume that "English fish don't count"....so we must forget about all the lovely carp we caught whilst we were in the UK ...?!!!! Whether the fish are as pressured or not as UK carp is not really relevant in my opinion, if you can find a lake in the UK or in France where the fish are not pressured and catch carp from it, then you are in a better place then most ! I have seen similar nonsense written here in the French carp magazines,with writers stating that carp caught from commercial lakes are less merititious than those from the big public lakes and rivers - probably written by people who can't afford to fish the commercial lakes and are jealous of those that can. Not everyone has the time to spend on the likes of Orient, Cassien, the Lot, Saone, etc., and lets face it, if you were offered the chance to fish a water where no-one else was allowed to fish, and the carp had never been caught would you say "oh no thanks, I would rather fish my local lake with 20 bivvies round it because I feel more rewarded by catching pressured fish and I have done it on equal terms to my fellow anglers " ? I dont think so ...!!! It is every carp anglers dream to fish a lake where the carp have never seen a rig or a boilie before, and that is why people come carp fishing in France - because it is nearer to that ideal than you are ever going to find in the UK.
