March issue – on sale now!

Both we and the carp are enjoying those warm spring rays of sunlight we’ve been longing for all winter; however, the fishing is not always easy and it's still very much a balancing act in these early spring months. Luckily, that doesn’t mean you need to start getting complicated in your approach – get the basics right and the carp should soon follow! 

Speaking of an uncomplicated approach, successful big-carp catcher Chris Wiles has pared his spring approach down to just two simple tactics, an approach he outlines in this issue.  There’s loads more spring content too, from the likes of Dave Lane, Myles Gibson and Lewis Read. Keen observation is so important at all times of year, but it can be a real game changer now as the carp begin to get around the lake again. Oz Holness is one angler who doesn’t miss a beat and this month’s feature on the topic is not to be missed! 

Other exciting content includes Ian Russell’s freezing cold but action-packed Troubleshooter at Holme Grange, Finley Todhunter’s in-depth guide to Brasenose One and a slightly different multi-species Road Trip – don’t worry, there’s always a carp or two to be had along the way with Alan Blair! It doesn’t stop there though, as there’s plenty more content still to enjoy, ensuring that there’s something for everyone in the March issue of Total Carp!
