Just to prove even "summer species" such as Carp can still be targetted on the fly in the depths of Winter, 'Skateboard' Dave Egginton never packs his gear away!

This beauty was caught back in December on (wait for it...) "on a one weight rod and #18 bloodworm"!!!

Just goes to show what can be done - great catch Dave, must have been quite a battle on that 1 weight rod!

Watch out for more from Dave coming very soon as he joins the Fish & Fly team and begins an exclusive new series on targetting coarse and other freshwater species so you can expand your target species range this coming year. Also, editor Paul Sharman will continue his series of "Carp on the Fly" with more hints and tips for beginners on how to go about picking up this branch of our sport.
