I hope you find some or all of them useful. I should also point out that every service we offer is completely free of charge – bargains every one.

A Gentleman's Approach

We have a strict but rigorously fair set of rules for the forum. Every one is expected to behave like a lady or a gentleman – and I am very glad to say that everyone does. This creates an open and friendly place to spend some time. No bickering, swearing, arguments, or pointed comments. Come and see for yourself, and welcome if you do.

And of course there are all the other items you would associate with a quality carp web site and forum: social events; help for newcomers; an emphasis on fish care and respect for our environment and fellow anglers; and a whole lot more.

You are welcome!
