Fishing for wild carp is about adventure, history, atmosphere, mystery and searching for and discovering secret waters and forgotten strains of ancient fish. Wild Carp captures this aplenty, describing Fennel's 20-year quest to find the oldest strains of carp in the UK. It's also about nature connection and a desire to uncover the seemingly impossible - a place where we can discover and live out our dreams, to completely indulge the mantra of 'Stop - Unplug - Escape - Enjoy'.
Hi, I'm Fennel. I'm a nature writer, outdoorsman and conservationist. You've probably never heard of me. That's fine. I've spent most of my life hiding in hedgerows.
I've written more than 20 books about the countryside, rural life and outdoors pursuits. I've edited three magazines, contribute to fly fishing publications, host the Nature Writer podcast, and do my best to 'Stop - Unplug - Escape - Enjoy'.
