In control.. your event marshals Marshals with
know-how In 2003, an agreement with Sparsholt College saw Students presented as Marshals for the first time. This move proved to be highly successful as it enabled on-site, 24-hour marshalling of the event, an element which had been identified as an absolute necessity for the World Carp Classic. With the competition
expanding still further in 2006, Shuttleworth College, Bedfordshire, England also provided Marshals for the competition. The Students - young men and women undergoing Fisheries courses at their respective Colleges - along with their Tutors, will play a very important role throughout the event. It is with the greatest of
carp sacks with you, as the action may be fast and furious at times.
SHARING THE LAKE...
Unlike Madine, which is a fairly closed water, the huge lake Bolsena is public and extremely popular for sunbathing and swimming, especially when the weather is good. With that in mind, some of the beach areas, which can be 2-3km long, there will be others sharing the lake with you, although this shouldn’t affect your fishing. In any case the sight of beautiful Italian girls should be a bonus and not something to complain about. As the lake is a very popular tourist attraction there are many cafes, bars and restaurants located around the perimeter of the lake that you can take advantage of during the competition for cold drinks, ice cream or local delicacies. Although the lake will be closed to
other anglers fishing from the bank, it is commercially fished for other smaller species. However, the professional fishermen have been instructed by the local authorities to keep at least one kilometre away from the
banks. If you find that a net has been placed close to your swim then please let your marshal know and we will have it removed. On the question of other species of fish, and this crops up each year, competitors should not catch fish to eat, the event has a strict no kill policy. As always, this is just a brief summary of
one or two rules, rules which seem to come into question each year. All competitors will be provided with a full set of rules in their packs and it is important to read them in full and understand them. Breaking a rule during the competition
and claiming that you didn’t understand is no excuse, as one team found out last year when they were disqualified. We do not want to send anyone home but if you break the rules, be warned, the rules will be enforced. It is a fantastic lake with lots of carp of a
very good average size. I’m sure that records will be broken and I hope that each and every one of you has a fantastic time in Italy. Good luck.
