SOUTH AFRICA AS A CARPING
DESTINATION
The European Style (hair rig) of carp fishing, has only
really started taking off in South Africa in the last
two or three years. Anglers like Gilbert Foxcroft, has
done ground breaking work to get this style of fishing
established. Gilbert and a few anglers in the know have
however been fishing this way for a number years and
below are some of their results. The photos below are
proof that South Africa has an abundance of BIG FISH to
offer. With this style of fishing being so new, it means
that most of the carp waters in South Africa are still
untouched and need to be explored to really determine
their true potential. The photos below are from various
different fishing destinations in South Africa. |
