This is what Carp fishing is supposed to be. In this episode of Chilly On Carp, Ian ‘Chilly’ Chillcott get’s a chance to fish a secret river in the south of England for some of the most beautiful little wild Carp in the country. It’s the first day of the river season in the middle of June, and these fish are essentially untouched. Nestled quietly among the bushes, Chilly spots a plethora of fish species feeding in a tiny pool, including two or three nice carp. They immediately come on the feed, which in the gin-clear, shallow water is like fishing in an aquarium. Close quarters stalking...this is perhaps the purest form of Carp fishing.

Barely thirty seconds after casting out and the rod rips off, setting the tone for three days of havoc and giants. Chilly details the rigs and baiting tactics that he used not only on this incredible session, but throughout his illustrious carping career. This is one of those rare times that a fisherman doesn’t need to exaggerate.

It doesn’t get much better than the Warwickshire Avon. In this episode of Chilly On Carp, Ian ‘Chilly’ Chillcott has a vendetta to overcome, he needs to catch his first ever UK river Carp.

The location may be ideal, and the sun may be shining, but there’s a lot to endure on this session. Through screaming boaters, dog walkers, lost fish and monsoon level rain storms, Chilly grits his teeth and ends on a monumental session that might just kick off a career of river carping.

This is what Carp Wars is all about: two of the UK’s most respected and knowledgable carp fishermen going head to head. In tricky conditions, which of the two Ians will come out on top? Two points for Russell would see him leap-frog Mark Bryant to join young Harry Pratt at the top of the leaderboard, and three would catapult him into first place, while Chilly is still hunting his first points of the series, so it’s all to fish for.
