I've heard that northerners like carping a lot, but I didn't realise they had special lakes for it. Wouldn't anywhere do for a good grumble?

[1slipperyfish]

no, it can only be done whist sitting around a freezing lake for about seven hours

or several kilos of nitrogen based explosives.
My family used to own fishing lakes in Essex, aparently you could catch carp there but all I got was rainbow trout
