The annual VBK meeting - the Belgian Carp Society that is - has never been a dull one, and this year was no exception for us. We put up a bigger stand than before (breaking it down again after a busy meeting was the real pain lol - a lesson for next year, innit @ricovielvoye), took the sales and stock for the CC Moore Benelux stand, had @johnllewellyn and @rudimillecamps from Big Carp as guests over on our space (very much enjoyed John's slideshow as well), had loads of stock and new products including SUBmag 4 and some very nice...

John zal tevens zijn flavours...

As you may have seen in recent days, the long planned vidange of the famous French Orient is taking place right now and it seems that its unique stock of carp and other species is massively in danger at the moment because of being left in very little water for the coming weeks. Under these current circumstances local anglers fear low oxygen, cold weather, extra stress, possible fish theft, etc. & feel that local authorities and organisations including the AAPPMA responsible for the fishing rights could do so much more with the budgets they (should) have for this.  We are...
