Here are some shots of the famous Redmire Pool, it holds a place in the heart of every carp angler.

The Ghosts
When I first saw the film of Terry Hearns "Hunt For Black-Eye" I was equally taken with the magical feeling of searching for the unknown, when you look into the water of any lake your imagination runs wild. The Black-Eye was one carp I found pretty special, that was until every Tom, Dick & Harry started queuing to catch her.

Things lose their magic if they're understood too much, even Redmire is now a day-ticket water which I personally think is sacrilege, somethings are best left to remain legends, we all need small pieces of magic to believe in, it keeps life interesting. Below is a poem I wrote about The Black Eye.
