I know where you mean, had them many a time, very good and their cakes. Funnily enough did a mail order last week from elsewhere, 2 in the oven as I type.

Cornish Maids are very good too.

I've always disliked the over verbalized carp associated dialect and grammar that saturates this branch of angling. Terry Hearn spawned a army of sad sack mutanoid cretins who spoke like him complete with mannerisms even dressing like him in a effort to be as "carpy" as possible, the walk,talk and act generation. Coining new words and carp slang a product still evolving as a result today. I also can't stand the naming of every Tom, dick and Harry carp caught making some waters stock sound like a roll call, such waters that have more stock named than trees around the margins get given a wide berth unfortunately leaving a precious few unmolested waters surviving. I'm ranting now I know... kettle on!

Pasties are so ignored these days they will become fashion in 5 years time, a bit like the Solar Union Jack bobbins.

I am a member of a newish syndicate which when started had a few decent fish and a few stockies, and a few members agreed that once a fish got over 25lbs the first capture of the fish got to name them... i caught one of these new fish once it got over the specified weight and named it “mirror carp” ....this did piss off a few members and they wanted to rename the fish when it was caught again..... but as i caught it first they cannot re-name the fish and this put a stop to any more fish getting a stupid name

It goes deeper not only do they have names some are referred to as their place of potential origin, like the Italian Mirror.

I reckon Simmo's will become the new pukka carp. After all, everyone seems to be catching scaley bangers......

Like it fella good move. Giving names to every carp in the water spoils future new anglers experience of a new adventure with all the mystery and ambience that it holds, a small amount of basic knowledge of stock is useful however a complete inventory and collerating statistics about each named fish with more facts figures and probabilitys than sky premiership cup final game analysis just rips the soul out everything.
Are you sure?
