Why Go Carp Fishing in Canada?

Canada’s premier carp fishing is to be found on the St.Lawrence river system largely located in Ontario, a couple of hours drive from Toronto airport. The carp here are known to reach 40lb regularly. One story I heard was from a local lock keeper, he told me that the summer before my first visit he was on the drainage part of the lock system brushing the excess water out of the small pools which appear after the spring rains, when he spotted what he thought was a big clump of weed in one pool, turns out it was a carp, and no ordinary carp at that it was perhaps the biggest carp he had seen, he fetched some scales, which went up to 30 kilo’s (around 60-65lb’s), and low and behold the fish outweighed out the scales. His estimate was around 70lb! Pictures of the fish were rather hazy but the Carp was definitely bigger than anything I have ever seen in any fishing magazine or personally achieved.
