God never did make a more calm, quiet, innocent recreation than angling.

Re: Wildie ancestry ........... or not?
Thanks for all your comments chaps
I'll say more about it when I write up my journal, but as has been commented it is a very nice carp regardless of its ancestry.
A few others I have caught in this pool also have this shape and appearance but I think this one is the closest to appearing to be a wildie.

There is no peace on earth like the peace of fishing in the early mornings
