The dorsal fin can be found along the top of the fish and is used for balance and keeping the fish upright. On the common carp, this fin is almost non-existent and is only a thin strip along its spine, but it still allows them to balance and remain upright without a problem. Common carp may be more common that you think, as gold fish are in fact a relative of carp and so are the domesticated and often-expensive koi carp. Gold fish were traditionally bred for their colour in China thousands of years ago and once common carp were introduced to Japan, these were specially bred with different species resulting in the colourful varieties of koi that you see today in private ponds and places of residence.
Or just somewhere to chat with others interested in the Norfolk Broads area. They need finding and the term needle in a haystack springs to mind.
Good luck, you will need it! Jenny Morgan, Where am I going on holiday this year? The House of Lords of course!! Lives to Post Posts: Joined: Mar Add To Ignore List JM is right on this one, there are a few 'known' spots but the fish are notoriously nomadic and therein lies the problem on a short holiday. If you had longer you could regularly pre bait an area and this might be worth a go if you have an overnight stop in a likely area.
Other than that it will be hit and miss unless you are on the Upper Waveney where stalking may be worth a go, early morning would be my preferred option. Good Luck! I had heard that there were a few wild carp on the broads but i had never seen one landed. However, last summer i was fishing with another forum member at South Walsham and we were landing mostly silver bream when he hooked a fish and landed it.
To our surprise it was a small carp 2lb ish. I'm not entirely sure of the exact type but it was most definately a carp. Does anyone know if they have been caught in the South Walsham area before?
Also,what species of carp are on the broads and in what numbers? Lives to Post Posts: Joined: Mar Add To Ignore List Nice to see you putting in an appearance Mr De Worde, tales of your demise were clearly exaggerated I should have been more specific and said the 'bigger' fish are nomadic and tend to patrol a fairly wide area. There is a fair head of Carp but these are not constrained by natural borders of a lake and therefore do roam a wide area.
I think this is what Peter is referring to rather than 'Wildie' of which there are now a minuscule number of venues which hold these. Most have interbred via Leney strain Carp and a true 'Wildie'is a very rare beast. As BCSG member of some years I have my ear fairly well to the ground, I won't say too much other than if you are prepared to do your homework and put in the time the rewards are there.
I for one these days would rather do this work and reap rewards in shorter targeted spells than sit out long session. Regards Perry It is not wealth or ancestry, but honourable conduct and a noble disposition, that maketh men great broadsfreak Jun PM Permalink reply edit profile send p. It might destroy any illusions you might have about broads fishing. Why not try for some big bream? Pike aren't good to fish for either from a big cruiser, you can't get to the good spots, though you might be lucky.
The only good things about carp gear are you can always try for the big chuck when mooring on places like salhouse or ranworth staithe, though theres little satisfaction in pulling in a 5lb bream on a rod thats like a beachcaster. I've done that as well. I've fished for carp for years but become dissilusioned that the scene has become a bit cheesy, what with the dressing up in camo and throwing your hooks away if you touch them!
Enjoying my coarse fishing again, getting my float fishing skills back now. The incredible variety of fish in the Norfolk Broads include carp, eel, roach, rudd, bream, perch, pike and tench. The popularity of fishing on the Norfolk Broads is plain to see with many tackle shops located around the waterways and in the towns and villages.
The coarse fishing season runs from 16 June to 14 March and all you need to fish on the Norfolk Broads is a current Environment Agency license, available from post offices. Information on rod licenses, prices and fishing rules can be found by visiting www.
