This is the story of the major carp waters, stocked by Donald Leney - the man who introduced `king' carp into Britain.

The waters that Leney stocked were later to become internationally famous, such as Redmire, Billing Aquadrome and Savay, and it is the development of these carp that Chris Ball describes, giving a chapter to each of the finest carp pools. He shows how anglers began to adapt methods, tackle and bait to catch these record fish, and provides stories of great battles, great anglers and legendary waters, that will delight all carp fishermen.
