CARPology Issue 277 - July 2026

This issue enters the mind of elite angler Myles Gibson as he explains the graft, planning and data collection behind his pursuit of seemingly impossible carp. Gary Bayes discusses Nashbait and the changing industry, while Lewis Porter charts his journey from cash-strapped graduate to fishery owner. Scott Lennox recounts the capture of a record-breaking 64lb-plus American carp, and Kieran Hopkinson embarks on an unpredictable adventure at Cassien.
