We sit down with Nick Helleur, one of carp fishing’s biggest characters, to talk all things Oxfordshire. Famed for its big and beautiful carp that have acted as inspiration for anglers all around the UK for decades, Oxford will hold its own in any argument for where the best carp have come from, and Nick fished in the area during it’s peak.
