Basingstoke Canal Angling Association

 

March 10th 2009

 

Les Vaughan catches his first canal carp – a fabulous 12 pound 6 ounce mirror carp.

(Might almost be a leather looking at the photo).

 

Les came back to fishing in 2008 after many years away from the sport.

He has been trying to get a carp out of the canal ever since,

and he’s finally done it right near the end of the season.

 

This one came out from Great Bottom Flash.

 

Lovely catch Les!
