Current Issue

All-New Look! The January issue of Total Carp marks a clear line in the sand: it’s an all-new look, backed up by all-new sections designed to make you a sharper, more effective angler from the moment you open the cover. 

At the centre of it all is a 36-page Winter Masterclass, headlined by Adam Penning and built around a revealing 48-hour session on Catch 22—a proper deep dive into winter decision-making, location, and discipline when bites are hard-earned and mistakes are magnified. 

Beyond the cover feature, the focus stays firmly on doing things better. There’s a full instructional special, including Oli Davies’ ‘(Almost) Bare Hooks’, a forensic breakdown of winter location with 22 ways to improve your odds, Tom Maker’s greatest winter haul ever, and a no-nonsense debunking of the biggest winter myths that still trip anglers up year after year. 

Elsewhere, we tackle the small errors that cost you bites: mastering indication, fluorocarbon, reedbeds, and sinking your line, before pushing things further with practical Fish Better content covering baiting scenarios, casting for distance in the cold, and making winter sessions work when you’re fishing off the barrow. 

Consider this issue your cold-weather reset: fewer guesses, fewer mistakes, and a clearer plan for catching carp when it really counts.
