Mit einem ausreichende großen und gummierten Kescher wäre es einfacher 😉

The Golden Era of English Carp Fishing 🎣🍂

Throwing it back to the 1960s today! The tackle was basic, but they still did alright... though it probably helped having the lake entirely to yourself quite often back then as well!

Just picture this incredible scene: Ethereal mist rising off the placid water of a legendary English carp pool at first light. The surface perfectly reflects the ancient, overhanging oak trees and thick beds of lilies. Down on the bank, a solitary angler sits motionless under a low-profile canvas brolly shelter. He's a picture of pure 1960s class, dressed in a traditional British suit and a flat cap, quietly smoking a pipe as he watches the water wake up.

Just behind the shelter on the dirt bank sits a classic estate car, parked next to heavily worn canvas carryalls. The distinct hiss of an old brass Primus stove fills the quiet morning air as a battered metal kettle comes to a boil for that essential first brew. ☕

Down at the water's edge, the setup is a nostalgic masterpiece. Dewdrops coat a pair of pristine vintage Mitchell 300 spinning reels, attached to beautiful split-cane carp rods. The bail arms are left open, with just a simple piece of crumpled silver foil lightly pinched onto the line as a makeshift bite indicator.

No alarms, no carbon fiber, no luxury bivvies. Just raw, atmospheric angling in an untouched, tranquil setting. Simpler times and absolute magic on the bank. 📸✨

DOKU ÜBER ILLEGALEN AALHANDEL AUF ARTE
Der illegale Handel mit europäischen Glasaalen vor allem im asiatischen Raum ist nach wie vor ein großes Problem für den Bestand der Art. In einer sehenswerten Doku macht ARTE auf dieses Problem aufmerksam. Dabei kommt auch der Aal-Experte des DAFV, Florian Stein, zu Wort, der sich bereits sehr um die Bekämpfung des illegalen Aalhandels verdient gemacht hat.
