In this Thinking Tackle adventure, Danny Fairbrass travels to Denmark to go fishing for wild carp alongside Danish big carp specialist Peder Lichtenberg. Together, they take on one of Europe’s most challenging big carp lakes, searching for elusive wild Danish carp across thousands of acres of open water, lilies and reeds.
East of the Danish mainland lies Lake Sorø - a vast, windswept inland sea where wild carp are few and far between. Battling relentless weather, changing conditions and the sheer scale of the venue, Danny and Peder rely on boats, echo sounder technology and pinpoint rig placement to stay in touch with the fish. Every decision matters, from choosing when to move swims to placing rigs with absolute precision.
This isn’t a session measured by the number of bites. It’s an adventure driven by exploration, teamwork and the challenge of locating a tiny stock of truly wild carp in one of Europe’s most demanding public waters. Along the way, Danny gains invaluable insight into Peder’s unique approach to big-water carp fishing and discovers just how much preparation, patience and adaptability it takes to succeed.
Will Danny realise his long-held ambition of catching a truly wild Danish carp?
