Stoneacres Spring scenery from last year around this time captured by maybe the only foreigner to ever fish the lake. Our friend and raveling angler Phil Braun @philoncarp from Germany enjoyed a few months on the notoriously difficult low stock water in the heart of Oxfordshire during a sabbatical in the UK last year and fulfilled his dream to catch himself a Stoneacres carp.

Uiteindelijk raken we ze helaas allemaal kwijt, maar de karperjeugd van tegenwoordig staat meer dan klaar en heeft ook het nodige in zich. Dat blijkt al wel…De precieze kilo’s doen er eigenlijk ook hier weer verdomd weinig toe, groot worden karpers toch wel. Absurd groot zelfs, maar ik doel op iets heel anders dan hun formaat. De indruk die ze maken. De impressie die ze achter laten....
