T


he Adventures of a Carp Angler is
the long awaited book by legendary
carper Simon Crow. Covering 40
chapters it details the trials and tribulations
of his time chasing carp and working within
the angling industry. His quest to target
the famous fish of the north are covered,
as are his captures of 50s from six different
countries, including legendary carp like
Black Eye, Arnie, and the finest in all
Yorkshire, the Nostell Biggun’.
This book is brimming with stories
about carping on the circuit and adventure
to the unknown, written by one of the
world’s most experienced carpers with not
one product plug anywhere to be seen.
Whether you are new or old to the world
of carping, it will entertain and inspire you
to get out there and seek the adventures
available to the modern day carp angler.

About the author
Simon Crow has been carp fishing for over
30 years and has worked as an angling
consultant most of his life. He has an MSc
in fisheries and has caught carp from more
than 300 different waters around the world,
including 50-pounders from six countries and
60s from three. Together with his long-time
friend Rob Hughes, he was the winner of the
first ever World Carp Cup in 1996. His current
PB carp is a 83lb, whilst his UK PB is a 51lb.
In March 2014 he was inducted into the very
prestigious Carp Fishing Hall of Fame. This
is his fifth book about carp fishing, a hobby
which he describes as his addiction.

This is a brilliant book. The first
night I saw it was on a day when
I had been really busy with work, but
as soon as I opened it I just couldn’t
put it down. It kept me up until
2.30am reading about what is a great
legacy. It is stunning quality, the
pictures are incredibly inspirational
and it is a great no-nonsense read.
Big respect Crowy!”
Rob Hughes, Fox International


I think it’s fair to say that
nothing Crowy has done so
far prepared me for just how good
this book would turn out to be. I’ve
fished with him many times; I know
him to be an extraordinary catcher
of carp; but what I didn’t know
is that he remembers everything
that happens along the way (or
most of it), and is able to bring it
all to life through his prose, and his
wonderful portfolio of pictures of
exceptionally high quality. There
are so many adventures, so many
big fish, and so many marvellous
pictures in the book that it is
difficult to single out chapters for
comment. If I had more space I
could do, but what more can you
say once you’ve said it’s marvellous,
and you’ve recommended that
readers buy a copy?”
Tim Paisley, Carpworld


Day-ticket carping specialist,
Continental carping
specialist, how-to article specialist,
‘plug meister’, and even carp
match specialist all spring to
mind when thinking of Crowy’s
writings. However, over the past
10 years or so he has also become
an unparalleled targeter of big
carp in the North of England. I’ve
watched him catch target fish
after target fish, many in pretty
short order, congratulated him
and then not thought much more
of it. However, when you see
it all laid out in this book, with
no plugs, product mentions or
how-to chapters, it’s clear that
he’s an accomplished captor of
the biggest carp from any venue
he sets his sights on. He’s been
very honest about the effect all
of his carp fishing has had on his
personal life and relationships;
it’s not all sunshine and roses,
but he’s not shied away from
including the ‘warts’. This book
has made me reassess the bloke
I thought I knew, and I can’t
recommend it highly enough.”
Paddy Webb, Carp-Talk


As a journalist myself, I admire
Crowy’s discipline in putting
the last 20 years of his carping life
into words, and for doing it so well.
The end result is an inspirational
read that made me wish I was
out on the bank with him. Serious
congratulations Crowy on a
wonderful book.”
