Nick is another carp angling phenomena. His carp fishing life is unlike anyone I have ever known and although I have known Nick for almost thirty years I have very rarely fished with him!.... why? , because he doesn't fish my sort of carp water. The concept of sitting on a lake fishing for a Bazil or a Heather is totally alien to Nick..." why would I want to devote all that effort to catch a fish that everyone else has caught" would be his reply to that type of question. Nick's true passion is for the unknown in fact ' Passion for The Unknown ' would make a great title for this book, if it needed a name. His passion is just as strong if he is here in the UK fishing for a 'possibility' on a little known pit or stretch of the canal as it is on an unknown stretch of a European river of high up in the Alps chasing dreams.
