Carp Fishing Trilogy

The Carp Fishing Trilogy consists of the first three books written by Steve Graham, and many people consider them to be three of his best.

From Gudgeon to Carp - This is Steve’s first book. It is the story of an angler and the journey through his fishing life, plus all of the adventures along the way. It describes his progression from catching small fish on the canal as a young boy, through many different species of fish, and larger and larger quarry. But all these different fish lead on to the ultimate - Carp.
Although predominantly about angling, this is a book that can be enjoyed by non-anglers too, as page after page reveals all the ups and downs that he experiences in search of his obsession.
Names have been changed to protect the innocent, but the story is almost totally true, or as near as the authors fading memory would allow.

More Carp Fishing - ‘More Carp Fishing’ is Steve’s second book and carries on his story from where his first book ‘From Gudgeon to Carp’ ended. It continues the story of his fishing life and describes the many exciting experiences in his quest for those most elusive of fish – BIG CARP.
There are chapters on a real diversity of different waters including two very low stock lakes in England, other English syndicate and club waters and also several different venues in France where Steve caught some huge fish. The chapters relating to the largest low stock lake in particular are absolutely gripping. At the outset the stock of carp in the water was totally unknown, which is exciting enough in this day and age. The amount of natural food in the lake was extremely high and the fishing was to prove to be very difficult, but the results were well worth the effort.
Most of the French lakes were not commercial venues and they had that extra spice of the unknown that Steve enjoys so much, but they were also very testing at times. Once again though, the effort was well rewarded with the capture of some spectacular fish.
This book describes the many tremendous highs and also the devastating lows that he experiences in search of his obsession, and also all the people that he has met along the way.
Page after page describes the journey through his fishing life in gripping detail, some parts full of humour, other parts tragic and some filled with pure elation.

Carp Fishing Tips and Theories - Steve’s first two books described the journey through his fishing life, but this book is entirely different. It is crammed full of tips and theories which he has accumulated during his fifty years of angling.
The book contains twenty different chapters including two fascinating sections on rigs and hook-baits, and many tips that have seldom been seen in print before. No secrets have been held back and with over 130 pages, the reader cannot fail to find some tips that will help them to put more Carp on the bank.
