There are many reaso n s
w hy these Swan creatu r e s
w i ll test the most patien t o f
u s danglers, but the car p i n
S wan lake in my opi nio n a r e
t h e masters at taxi ng e v e n
t h e best carp anglers t i m e.
T h e carp tax that com es w i t h
f i s hing Sw an Lake is defi ni t e l y
t i me, because you’ll nee d i t
t o g e th e r t h e m o s t s u b t l e
signs of how and where these
beauties might be trip up. If
you believe you will just turn
u p , f i n d a n i c e sp o t , b a i t u p
t h a t a r e a a nd s t a r t c a t c h i n g
in your “favorite” swim then
you are sadly mistaken. This
i s n o o r d i n a ry l a k e a n d t h a t i s
all down to how busy the lake
i n order to understand w h a t
t h e hell is going on und er th e
s u rface. These fish do n’t p l a y
b y the normal carp hand b o o k .
The lake can become gra n i t e
a t many times throu gh o u t
e a ch of the 4 season s a n d
t h at’s what makes it s o
a p pealing to fish for an an g l e r
t h at wants to think ab o u t
t h eir angli ng. Every sig n f r o m
n a ture, every beep from y o u r
a l arms and every fish lan d e d
i s so valuable when fish i n g
a lake like Swan. Th ese c a rp
d o n’t give much away ab o u t
h o w they are catchab le o n
t h at particular day, but if y o u
h e ighten your senses day a n d
n i ght, you’ll start to p i e c e
gets and how much bait gets
applied all over the lake all
year round.
A B I T A B O U T ME
Those that actually know
me will know that I have been
a very private angler over the
l a s t 3 0 y e a rs o f c a r p f i s h i n g
a n d 3 9 y e a r s o f c o u r s e f i s h i n g.
But as of the summer of 2025
I decided to lift the lid and
become more public about
m y a n g l i n g. P r i o r t o t h i s ,
other than those who have
witnessed how I fish most
anglers would barely know
I exist on the bank. In my
earlier years i did a masters
in digital systems & robotics
engineering but then 18 years
