Synopsis

AVAILABLE THIS AUTUMN - ONLY 500 COPIES AVAILABLE - FIRST COME FIRST SERVED SO ORDER QUICKLY TO AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT Carp fishing has a very rich history. In the early days of it becoming popular, Kent and the Colne Valley were the hot beds of our fledgling pastime and of course there was the legendary Redmire Pool. Into the new Millennium and one area above all others exploded onto the scene, this was of course Oxfordshire. The quality of the stock of carp in this county was incredible but where did these beautiful scaley beasts come from? When did the Leney’s get stocked? What were the origins of the famous Linch Hill fish and what of the history of the now infamous Linear Fisheries? With more than 300 pictures of some of this country’s finest ever carp and several full page maps, this huge volume tells the story of Oxfordshire’s carp fishing history whilst still leaving a little bit of mystery for your imagination! Included within the pages of this book is the foreword written by local legendary angler and former tackle dealer Joe Taylor. We have chapters from Paul Kitchin on the legendary Vauxhall Lake. David Brian Williams tells us the story of the lakes in the City of Oxford itself! Chris Robinson has written an incredible chapter on two of Dorchester’s lakes. Orchid and The Lagoon. The history told in Chris’s chapter on these lakes is just incredible and wait until you see the pictures! Next door to The Lagoon is Dorchester’s Alliance Club Lake and Joe Forrester tells his story of the incredible scaley carp that inhabited this lake and how he outwitted them. We have a real coup in the fact that brilliant all round Oxford angler John Everard agreed to be interviewed and he has an incredible of amount of historical information to share as has Gerald Stratford who is also included in this informative chapter. No book about Oxfordshire’s carp fishing history would be complete without the story of Oxfords first forty and what a story it is.
