Thanks Mario, I’ve unearthed new material and many pictures some of which have not been published before.
A book for carp fishing history fans.


Bill Keal at Cheshunt Reservoir in the 1950s.

Looking forward to this Chris especially the section on Tarn

[Jardine]

It's mostly stories of old Cooky, chapters by lots of anglers of yesteryear. Chris's book I think is a continuation of his Famous Catches book, so more tales from The Special Album. A new carp book by Jon Berry is in construction also. Plenty to look forward to.

The book is called Historical Carp Waters - masses of info and nearly 300 pictures! No wonder I feel worn out.

Hi Chris,
how many waters are covered in this book?
Best regards

There should be around 21 chapters in the book, extensive details about Godalming Angling’s Broadwater lake, Eggetts, Horton Kirby, Landrindod Wells, etc.

Yep, same net. It went missing after Bill Keal’s death, thought to be held by the family. It may surface one day.


Bill Keal fishing at Broadwater lake, Surrey in the early 1960s. Sharpes rods, Ambidex reels, heron bite alarms and his beautifully shaped laminated cane carp net. Oh...and a Lafuma bedchair - god they were comfortable.

How things have changed they actually have a ban on bedchairs there now aswell as a few other strict rules I'm pretty sure your still aloud to use bait
