This is maybe a bit late but if you still are interested anyway, im from Sweden and i have been fishing carp all arround in sweden and its not anything like the fishing that you have over there in england, been there too, the fishing in sweden is a bit moore difficult and thats mostly because the lakes are bigger and it isnt that much carp in them. But the fishes in sweden are in a very good condition and most of the fishes havent been catched before. I wouldent recomend people to go too sweden for carpfishing besides Skåne, because it in the absolute south of sweden and the weather isnt the same there, and skåne is full of carp lakes and ponds, in fact almost every lake and pond there is carp, and some of the top lakes are Bysjön in Lund and Henrikstorpssjön & svenstorpssjön in perstorp, but the absolut top water in sweden is Tegelbruksdammen in Lund where the Swedish carp record has been taken recently on over 40 lb http://www.prologicfishing.com/viewnews.asp?newsId=239 and i think that they have caughted 4 carps over 40 lb there only this year, unfortunately is tegelbruksdammen a cyndicate water. But the swedish caping is something worth trying.
and if i have missed something you can always ask
