The Res – Why we go carp fishing

I’d lost my way but now I’m back. Carp fishing had been in my life for 35 years but once I started working in the industry my love of this great pastime soured and lost its appeal. My love of wildlife and everything nature exposes me to some incredible places, many of which are lakes and rivers. Over the past couple of years, I’ve been trying to find that connection and possibly bringing back the love of riverside tales and hunting big lakes but just never got around to it. Well, now I’ve got the opportunity to do just that. With a little help from my friends and a credit card, I’m heading back down memory lane. I’m having to repurchase all my fishing gear again but I’m making wise decisions on gear and keeping it minimal as possible. Join me on the banks of Braxted Reservoir, one of the many great waters on offer from the Chelmsford Angling Association, as I rekindle my love of fishing. This vlog is in memory of William Wass (1938-2019), our much respected local tackle shop owner.
