Want a 50lb+ Common? Here’s Where To Find Them


Big common carp are fewer and further between in comparison to their mirror counterparts. They’re also most anglers prized captures as the sheer length of a common carp in excess of 50lb is something quite special. We’ve rounded up some of our favourites from Angling Lines venues…

 

1. Caught at Villefond, May ’16

Villefond is well known for it’s big average weight of carp (last week’s anglers had 8 x 40’s, 6 x 30’s and just 2 x 20’s!) and 51lb common ‘Little John’ is no exception.
