As far
as carp fishing goes, Darenth was the place that
caught the heart of your host Paul Hunt. Not
surprising really that he spent an amazing 11
years there. At the time, Darenth held many of the

is more like
a haul", Paul says. And it is absolutely entirely
the fish making all the decisions until after about
3 hours (in this case) when it tires and you can
proceed to haul up the incredible lump you have
hooked into! Paul was able to bank 5 other
Sturgeon over 100lbs which made for a very
successful 4 day fishing excursion on the Fraser.
Lisa (your hostess) also had a few over 100lb with
the largest weighing in at 250 lbs... 
Lawrence since 1998
making him the longest running carp guide on the St.
Lawrence river as well as the first! In
the early days of Paul's guiding he pioneered and
sought out the very best fishing swim's along
certain area's of the river, and during these early
days he admiringly named some of the swims he fished
most regularly such as The Pines - The Silver
Birch etc... Nowadays many of these names are
often used by all anglers fishing these very
swims. Over the years
the carps locations and patterns have changed
somewhat in the river and Paul has made sure that he
is and will always, be on top of the best carp
fishing in the St. Lawrence River, and now he fish's
new swims all around the River Island Manor. One of
his most memorable catches is a nine day stint on
the river with one of his mates in which they banked
a whopping 6 tons of carp with 113 under 20s &
245-20s 108-30s 8-40s two over 45lb to 49lb and a 50lb 9oz. 
UK carp in it's waters and many of the top
names in the Carp industry have fished it's waters
such as Kevin Maddocks, Lee Jackson to name but a
few. Paul still produced a lot of the big named,
resident fish such as: 'Stumpy, Small Head, which
went missing for two years and everyone assumed this
fish had died was caught at 37lb 8oz by Paul biggest
ever weight at that time, 'Fully Scaled' came in at
27lb 10oz, 'Lumpy' which was the biggest fish that
ever came out of Darenth at the time of fishing it
came in at a whopping 36lb+ and last but not least,
Paul took his chances at the
Darenth Tip lake and produced "Scar Bar' and
some of his other larger friends. Scar Bar came in
at 34lb 8oz!
very few
fish but of good size. Paul put himself to the test
to help try and figure out the new venue, it's
features and the fish that swim it's waters. Fish to
61lb had been caught so Paul's hopes of landing a
biggie were high! Paul took one of his biggest fish
of the trip with this lovely specimen on the left
weighing in at 39lb 8oz, just that tiny bit away
from the magical 40 mark (the scales never lie!)
Another 39lb and a good few 20's were also caught
from the lake.
