Another very interesting article is how to use wind to catch carp. And, summer fishing for Brandon Frazer mostly consists of particle fishing, so he loves fishing tiger-nuts or maize glugged in some flavours.

One of the joys of targeting carp on the fly is that they occur in almost every major water body across the country and are easily accessible to all.
