Fish Name:

Details: This is the second (and most important) part of the previous catch report. The photo of the Mirror which I had caught back in 2010. I think it’s only right to post this also, to show everybody just how old and respectable these carp are. Baring in mind this fish would have not been young when caught it in 2010! They deserve so much care and respect, they are not just your average farmed Carp, although ALL fish deserve equal care and respect, this strain of carp are few and far between. We must preserve the Old English Carp as best as we possibly can.
