Total Carp Staff

Prestigious venue shut to anglers following series of unexplained big fish mortalities. One of the country’s best-known carp lakes has been closed to anglers following a string of unexplained fish deaths. Horseshoe Lake in the Cotswolds, the famous home of the Carp Society, has lost an estimated 60 big carp since the spring, with at least one fish dying at the water per day throughout August. So far the specimens lost have range in size between mid-doubles and low twenties, with none of the venue’s large head of 30lb plus fish having been affected.
