Carping Journeys by Jason Ryder & Friends is now out and I was one of the lucky few to be sent a preview 1st edition copy of this great book.

When the book arrived I knew it was going to be something special by the sheer size and volume of tis book. With over 368 pages of text and photos this book is packed with info and is great value.

The book is a collection of short stories around some the worlds greatest Carp Venues. The stories are told by some of the most accomlished Anglers and reveals many of their tactics and tips. It is an essential purchase if you plan or indeed fish on the continent or even if you just dream of it!

One of my favourite chapters was the chapter by Keith Moors about how he found a lovely lake in France and subsequently purchased it and moved to France to live and make a new life.

A great insight can be gained into the methods and tactics that are needed to successfully tackle the lakes and rivers of Europe.  

The book features many overseas anglers some of whom are fishing in their own back yards. First and foremost it is a publication devoted to the pursuit of big Carp and is far more than a holiday fishing guide. Over 120,000 words, more than 200 colour photos with 20 different authors. Carping Journeys visits two dozen venues across the continent in search of monsters and unique Carping experiences.

Including chapters from Chris Woodrow, Shaun Harrison, Jim Lightfoot plus many more! "

All in all I would recommend this book for anyone considering a trip abroad !
