Hi Mate, The likely looking areas already mentioned are good places to start to locate river carp, especially any permanent boat moorings. River carp can be somewhat nomadic in their travels but they are also creatures of habit. In my experience, most populations of river carp have a 'home' that will return to after their travels. If you are lucky enough to spot a carp in a stretch, that area is definately worth targeting. If you happen to see a feeding carp, then get a rig in there!

From my experience, anywhere on a river or canal that has regulur boat moorings will usually hold fish. Many boat owners throw left over food directly into the water and the fish learn this. I would prebait the area over a couple weeks if feasible and then fish it. Don't over do it with the bait though as remember they'll likely have left over food from the boats too.

Really depends on the type of river your fishing. The faster shallow & more natural rivers can be easier to work out where a good plsce to start is . As you might have a field or two of shallow fast moving water which then slows & deepens for a bit , always a good place to start for any specimen river fish where it first deepens after a shallow run , also on these rivers quite often there will only be one possible route for big fish to use in the shallower sections again another good place to set traps. On the deep slow coloured rivers it can be tricky like your finding spotting fish day to day , you might get lucky & one crashed out while on a wonder or you get to spot a couple in the margins but in my experience that's not that common , so it's more about picking somewhere out the way features or not & start baiting if there in the area there get on it . But wier pools old snags overhanging trees, undercut banks etc are all worth a bit of bait . At work now so got to log out

No mate. South Warwickshire. It’s the Warwickshire Avon.

As Yonny says pellets , plus no prep needed . On a personal point of view I'm not sure I would start a prebaiting campaign on the lead up to colder weather coming when the fish will slow right down in both movement and feeding.

Worth a watch..

Rules are put in place to keep landowners, lake owners, clubs and fish safe and happy, so as such there are no silly rules. You may not agree with them, but they should be followed, although there is one on a well known tackle manufacturers lake that I find is a form of pollution, and is also a practice that must be stopped: 'all leads must be dropped on the take'. As such I will never fish that manufacturers lakes, I find the rule abhorrent, a disgusting practice. No plastics, brilliant rule.
