Fifty Pound Furzebray Carp

Simon McCarthy has banked the carp known as Dropscale from Furzebray Carp Lakes at a weight of 51lb 1oz. The specimen demonstrates the superb carp fishing now available across North Devon with several venues now producing carp over forty pounds fishing that would have been considered exceptional just a couple of decades ago.

“Having first started carp fishing in the mid nineties fish of this size and quality were not around in the south west and now I have caught a fish of a lifetime,the mighty Dropscale at 51lb 1oz from the awesome Furzebray Lakes”.
