Total Carp  |  August 2026
This month’s cover feature sees Simon Crow share the lessons he’s learned from decades spent fishing some of the country’s smallest, most pressured and most historic carp waters. In Small Waters, Big Lessons, he reveals why intimate venues demand a completely different mindset—and the subtle edges that can make all the difference.
Elsewhere, Julian Cundiff dissects the art of the (Real World) Overnighter, drawing on more than 30 years of fitting carp fishing around work, family and everyday life to explain how to make every precious hour count.
There’s practical advice throughout the issue too. Oli Davies shows how staying Off-The-Barrow keeps you ready for anything, Rob Hughes returns with Subsurface Secrets, exposing the real truth about fishing in weed, and we reveal how to make summer particles absolutely irresistible.
Rounding things off is our Fault-Fixer Special, where we expose 10 common rig myths, Tom Dove’s Chod Rig, take a closer look at Adam Penning’s Depth Charger, and reveal what could be the ultimate weed rig.
