As per thread title. It is not called a peg in carp angling, it's called a swim you effing noddies. Got it? A peg is what match anglers fish and a swim is what carp anglers fish. It's really not that hard to understand is it?
I guess the large influx of noddies who once sat behind a pole dangling a line for F1's and has got into carp angling could be confused, but this ain't noddy angling chief, this is carp angling, and within carp angling there are certain terms that differ like the use of the word 'peg' :shudder:
Calling a swim a peg should carry a mandatory 5 years inside and banning from carp angling for the rest of your natural and branding 'N' on the forehead.

Peg, swim, it's where you fish from
To be fair, most of the noddies you mention are probably far superior anglers than most carp anglers, they are good on fish

Obviously you're a noddy/confused on your terminology and with me being the helpful guy that I am, I'm here to clear up any confusion you may have.
Match anglers = peg
Carp anglers = swim
Oh, 30 years carp fishing and still doesn't know the difference between swim and peg? Kek.

Sorry, no it can be either, or also include lot or spot.
My club waters cater for both match, general and carp anglers. If you go onto their lakes you have to fish from the peg, and no casting into adjacent swims or pegs.
There are 3 swims on the point, but only 1 peg faces into the bay.
Of course, if you were fishing with Ritchie Macdonald, then you fished your swim from your lot.
If you are on some waters you are casting into your swim from your spot, and in your swim you may be aiming at a particular spot on the feature.
So to recap, from your peg you will be casting into your swim. From your spot on the bank, you will be casting to a spot in the water, unless you are on a peninsula, in which case you will be fishing on point.
😖😉😆😅
Seriously, I think you fish from the peg, and the swim is the water in front of you.😉
And finally, does it really matter?

If you can be arsed looking it up... The area where you sit is your peg... And the water in front of it is regarded as your swim.
Irrespective of what your fishing for?

In truth it's really simple - If numbered for match draws it's called a “Peg” , if called a specific name it's called a “Swim”.
~ I'm stamping 10 Swim name plates in Stainless Steel this afternoon for a River Fishery.
~ A bit more trivia – the term “Peg” comes from when the early matches started the officials would mark out the fishing locations using numbered bits of paper fixed to anything in the vicinity using Cloths Pegs.

A lot of carp anglers sit behind stationary rods with alarms for when there sleeping , reading , watching films , they play the waiting game ,
Matchmans fish for a variety of species with a variety of methods quite often during the worst time of day for feeding activity on lakes and rivers ,
Trotting a float down a river is an art form , I'm struggling to think of any method in carp fishing that I'd call an art form , maybe floater fishing (just )
Who are the noddies 🙄😂

There are lots of terms for a piece of lake or river bank where you fish from.
There are various terms to describe the piece of water you are fishing in.
There is a specific term for people who start threads like this - ****

A "Peg" is a location and dates back to the 16th century in Eastern Europe where they would attach one end of a net to a "peg" when netting a water for food (usually carp). These were marked out with specific distances to ensure they weren't netting the same area of water. As said being used now to map out fishing matches.
"Swim" is a modern terminology usually referred to the body of water in front of the designated "peg"
I'm not sure calling people noddies and advocating 5 year bans is really the way forward considering your lack of understanding of the terminology.

This is England, not eastern Europe.
A peg on a lake usually has a number on it denoting the available places to fish from. You wouldn't fish from the Brambles peg, you'd fish from the Brambles (((swim))).

Not really coming to an end. Sounds like a water I was fishing last year run by ex nods, hence the numbered swims. Like why would you put a number next to a swim with beautiful weeping willows and call it No:10. Like really? Defies logic and reason.

maybe because not everyone can be asked to think of names and it's easier to just use numbers??
I dont quite get why this is so is getting to you so emotionally and mentally. I think you need to look within yourself as to why your anger is directed at how fishing areas are named and what the real issue is. Some self reflection and healing is required I think.

I had a run in with a bailiff over the difference between rods out/rods in.
I say rods out = rigs in the lake, and rods in = rigs on the bank.
I was having a mooch round after reeling my rods in (rigs on the bank obvs) and he said "Are your rods out?".
When I said no he went ballistic thinking my rigs were still in the lake.
And he disagreed when I explained the difference of what I meant.

There was a Troll who came on here about 8 or 9 years ago.
Started a thread about casting 180 yards with a cheap set up. Got a few bites straight away.
Then started up numerous threads causing mayhem. Within a week he had really brought the forum to a halt with 90% of posts being replies to his increasingly ***** threads.
He then overstepped the mark by taking the piss out of a young lad asking basic questions and calling him names and giving him a hard time in general. It turned ou the young lad had a particularly bad illness and just getting out there fishing was an act of bravery and defiance in the face of his illness. I remember it well because I challenged him and got full trolling mode off him.
Strange thing was that in between his obvious delight in causing mayhem he obviously knew his stuff. His references to Cassien etc were spot on so he was either well read on the subject or had first hand experience. Just a shame he had some character defect that he had to cause chaos to get noticed

It's be playing on my mind for sometime now and brought to the forefront of my mind as there's a few match guys at the place I work getting into carp fishing with me having to correct the language... ..."not a peg mate, it's a swim," with them badgering me for knowledge of waters and guest tickets - not happening as there's a no guests rule were I fish, so tough luck noddance, shuffle off to your pool that's crammed full of pasties with their faces smashed in.
I've not got anything against match anglers per se, just that the mentality that they bring with them in certain circumstances has been a big disservice to carp angling generally. What they've brought to the table has changed things in many ways, some for the good and others, not so much.
I appreciate that their tactics are highly effective and that they as anglers can be highly efficient, which can be highly enlightening and pretty impressive to watch, but calling a swim a peg when there's clearly no number where I'm fishing just ain't the one chief.

I'd go for the beginning of the 90's, but hey, it's splitting hairs.
Carp fishing back in the 80's had something different about it and was in a way separate with its own language and ethos to general course fishing which obviously goes way back before then. I used to get sneered at by the match guys in school in the early 80's for my carp antics. Maybe it was something to do with being the only one of two people specifically fishing for carp at school excluding all else. We were different, we wore ex army kit, slept under low slung nu brollies...hunting down waters that had never been fished for before for large carp... trailblazing for others to follow in our footsteps in our own, insignificant way. We may not have been the best anglers or the first to do similar, not by a long chalk, but we were doing our own thing on our own terms and not following the heard.
And then... ...then came the noddy
I was honestly mortified when I heard about the early carp matches and competitions; which still rocks me to my core till this day. Times they certainly do change and nothing stands still eternally. Everything is in constant flux. Change is guaranteed, unending and inevitable. I suppose that a huge part of the reason that I find the whole match thing so alien is that I'm not that much of a competitive person when it comes to angling; I'm just trying to catch for me and not trying to impress anyone with what I catch in the slightest. I literally don't care.
I'd be foolish thinking my world view is the only world view, that aside, a swim is a swim and not a peg. Even Jesus said that...

Interesting what you say about the 80's. Around me it was all predominately match, i used to do a bit, i also used to carp fish but that was done with one rod whilst fishing for anything that swims on the other. Then progressing to two rods, and then 3
Match fishing its pegs and death at the draw bag
Carp fishing seems to be more "swim" orientated
Personally, i dont give a ****
Its not a spot, thats for sure, thats what the carp feed on. If you were to fish from a spot you would be sat out in the lake piss wet through
Agree on the carp match thing, deffo not my cup of tea, i have fished a couple for the experience but as a whole pressure and carp fishing do not go hand in hand for me, i go to relax, i can put myself under enough pressure finding the fish and getting on them or moving, i can have a nap then
Thats the one for me. Fish for your self, nobody else

Its not a spot, thats for sure, thats what the carp feed on. If you were to fish from a spot you would be sat out in the lake piss wet through
Agree on the carp match thing, deffo not my cup of tea, i have fished a couple for the experience but as a whole pressure and carp fishing do not go hand in hand for me, i go to relax, i can put myself under enough pressure finding the fish and getting on them or moving, i can have a nap then
Thats the one for me. Fish for your self, nobody else

It's not a swim or a peg, its just somewhere close to the car park

Doesn't it depend if the lake is "pegged" with wooden stakes or similar to identify the swims numerically?

Swim to get wet, peg to dry your kit, spot to fish on and Robert's your father's brother.

You say 'used to get sneered at' ..... nice to know some things dont change huh?
peg/plot/pitch/swim/ number/name?.....at the end of the day it looks like you're the only one actually concerned with what you deem to be the correct terminolgy for whats basically a SPACE in which to erect your shelter...or are you still 80's style hardcore and insist on slumming it just because you can?

Several different reasons on here. Post 95 is the simplest answer without involving any dodgy Eastern European antics.
It seemed to go over everyones head so perhaps I need to add a smiley thingy.

Its peg if you are match fishing and a swim if you are just general coarse angler I like to do spot of float fishing for tench so I am classed as a match man now even though the last match I fished was sea event over 30 years ago

Amuses me that carp fishing doesn't come under the pleasure angling banner.
What with all the spod/marker/boat/bag ‘work', sitting about with wet wooly sleeves, general bell ends and need to carry on like an sas operative the last thing you'd describe it as is pleasurable

Your right Noj. It's not about pleasure or even catching carp, can't be when you see how some perform. it's about having all the gear, finely tuned, precise, polished, neatly aligned in his “swim” and looking like a bad arsed carper
It's usually the scruffy looking bloke with all the battered gear that's catching them all
Saying that though, carp fishing can be bought in a box nowadays, you can give a complete idiot a decent bag of bait and he will catch, even if he does not know why, and that's the difference

Lol. No.
There are reasons why you'd have to go SAS stylee and not been seen as CaRpS can be a smart foe and stealth is the key on occasions [looks at gilly suit and smiles to oneself].
