Have to agree with AJM, it would be wise to start float fishing at a commercial fishery just to get used to the basics. Then take it from there. Bet you could get set up for about £150 with a float rod, reel, landing net, chair and few odds n sods. Have a look on Facebook Marketplace for some secondhand bargains. Walters Lake in the Cotswolds Water Park near you has loads of carp in, get yourself geared up and down their with a tin of sweetcorn and luncheon meat. There's even a nice cafe there.

That's good, at least you have a basic idea of what Fishing is all about.
Carp Fishing can be as difficult or as simple as you choose to allow it to be.
Once you are kitted out, seek out a local runs water where it is easy to get a run or two and im sure your enthusiasm will grow.
Enjoy!

Don't pay for lessons would be a waste of money until you have more experience, find a local runs water spend time there not fishing.

the best way to learn is get out there a try!
its not complicated and all the stuff that newbies are sold these days is quite comical in my book.
you cant teach experience, you have to go get that yourself.
