Hi Paul

It anywhere.It's been a few years, but had a few beers, a few tears (laughter), good food and I got chauffered to my swim where I even caught a few carp then chauffered home again for evening on it. My personal highlights after chuming up the swims with maize was to captain the boat. Cheers Paul & Lisa So if want my advice get on the rolling rock in the autumn and have some, sun, warmer river to swim in and some big river commons. 

Hi Paul

Ive been out with Paul twice, once in the bays and once on the rolling rock. Amazing fishing, some of the best I have experienced fishing around the world. The digs and food are second to none. Some 5 star hotels do not match the standard that Paul sets. Blooming amazing, and should be on every carp anglers bucket list!

Hi Paul

Amazing carp fishing great food and accommodation, can't wait to get back out to CCH.

Hi Paul

If your thinking of booking do so! It’s wild Carpin at it's best. Paul and Lisa are fantastic hosts and can’t do enough for you. The accommodation is 5 star plus. Mealtime is really really good home cooked food and brilliant stories of fishing adventures by Paul at the table. All you have to do is get up in the morning and walk to the waiting transport. Paul’s knowledge is second to none and he always gives his best advice and puts you on the fish. Tackle and bait all supplied and is of a good standard. Both Paul and Lisa really give you the Canadiancarpin experience that cannot be bettered. I have been six times now and can’t wait for my seventh. Don’t think about it “just book it” you will not regret it. Thanks Paul & Lisa for a fantastic holiday experience, see you soon Mike B.

Hi Paul

Amazing place , top quality accommodation and tackle , matched with great hosts and guiding. For wild common carp in Canada with the odd mirror you won’t match it anywhere.

Hi Paul

Awsome holiday plenty caught and the food is great...guiding was spot on highly recommend.

 Had a brilliant week landing 100 carp, lots of big fish, great hospitality! Can’t wait to come back!.

Hi Guys

My partner Paul and I have just returned from 2 great weeks with Paul and Lisa at Canadian Carpin for the last week in June and first week of July. I bought this as a special birthday present for my Paul as he is a lifelong carp angler and wanted to fish for wild carp on the St Lawrence river. From the moment we arrived at the River Rock nothing was too much trouble for Paul and Lisa to make our stay the best. Our couples room with private bathroom was very comfortable. Lisa made sure that our dietary needs were taken care of and now that I am back home am missing having my lovely salads and packed lunch each day, along with the evening meals which were ready for us at the table. It was interesting each evening to hear the tales of fishing from that day, and all of Paul Hunt’s own experiences of fishing and travelling. Paul and Lisa certainly are great hosts for the holiday. I have been fishing for small fish home in England with my partner Paul, and caught one or two carp in the past, so decided to opt to fish with my Paul each day, rather than being a non-fishing partner, having a few days off during our two weeks. I am so glad I decided to do that as the experience of catching a wild carp and releasing it back whilst in the river yourself is really very special. We fished each day on the banks of the St Lawrence after Paul Hunt advised us on where was best to fish, based on his vast knowledge and experience of these fish and their habitat. Even a novice like me came to realise that what Paul doesn’t know about carp fishing isn’t worth knowing. I learned to tie my own rigs and the first ever rig, even with a tiny loop and a smirk from my Paul, helped him to catch one of the biggest carp of the holiday! During our stay we had a few days off. One day we both went to the historical Upper Canada Village (Lisa and Paul dropped us off there and collected us) and another day Lisa took me to shop at Merrickville, (ladies if you like shopping then this is a very new experience as there is nowhere like this in England!). Paul and Lisa also took us out for Canada Day to see a concert in Cornwall which was great. This review is obviously more from a partner’s perspective than an angler’s but I know that my Paul was very impressed by the whole set up: good fishing gear and tackle, the best source of knowledge from Paul Hunt, and a perfect setting for fishing for wild carp that have never been caught before. So ladies, don’t miss out and get along to Canadian Carpin- it’s not just for boys! You can choose to fish or not to fish, it’s up to you. You have to be up early but that is more than made up for by the astonishing sunrises. Thanks Paul and Lisa for a very special time. We are already booked in for next September and looking forward to another brilliant holiday in a great country, with the best hosts. *****

Hi Paul

I had an amazing time totally enjoyed myself catcting loads of wild carp to 30+ and the weather in June was spot on, and cannot fault a thing *****...Hope to see you guys soon.

Hi Paul, CCH.
I have been traveling to Canada for over 7 years with Paul and if you are thinking of going I highly recommend it. I have been to France and several venues across Europe but nothing is like Canada.in all the time I have been going at all different times of the season I have only blanked 1 day.Every other day I have had multiple catches, on some days I have lost count of the number of fish I have caught.  The new house is first class and food is 10 out of 10. Can't wait to return again. ✌

Hi Paul.
I have been travelling to Canada to fish with Canadian Carpin Holidays for the last 6 years and cannot recommend it highly enough, everything is taken care of for you, all you need to do is book your flight and arrive with your clothes that's it, your even collected from the airport.The accommodation *****, food, tackle, guiding service is top class and the fishing Is on another level. YOU WILL NOT EXPERIENCE ANYTHING LIKE IT IN THE UK, hundreds of 20-40lb wild carp that fight for there lives and numerous 40s caught on the st Lawerence every year and they do go bigger. Whether traveling alone, in groups or with partners , this will be a holiday you won't forget, get it booked ASAP!. ✌

Hi Paul.
It's been 15 years and 15 trips to the mighty St Lawrence river being guided & hosted by Paul.  I travel all over the world with my fishing, but keep coming back for what is a fantastic fishing holiday experience. The power and speed of the hard fighting commons is incredible and there are a few beautiful mirrors floating around if you are lucky enough to catch one! The fishng tackle supplied is all top end gear and the food is as good as I have had anywhere. ✌

Hi Paul.
I went to Canada a few years ago for the first time with my Mum & Dad and a few friends who had been there before Paul couldn't do enough for us they pick you up at the airport take you back to there beautiful Home  The fishing is amazing Paul's great knowledge of the St Lawrence had us catching loads of fish Then after a days fishing we return to River Rock and enjoy home cooked food was delicious and excellent portion size whilst sitting down for dinner we tell each other what we had caught that day and if we had any other stories to tell and if we had seen any wildlife whilst we was on the bank  I'm going back to Canadian Carpin this October hoping to break my PB and catch few more wild carp. xx 

Hi Paul.
Paul is the best at what he does - simple as that!! He knows where the fish are throughout the year and works hard to get anglers the best results. I had a great time on the St. Lawrence and caught well every day!! with 113 carp -13 over 30lb+ ✌✌

Hi Paul.
Canadian Carpin' is the best Carp fishing in the world! Next september I am going for my fifth time. Canada had the strongest carp I have ever catched. The mighty Saint Lawrence River with the most beautiful swims, wildlife and nature. You are fishing like in a dream! Best carp, best swims, best hosts, best carp holiday! You definitely have to do this with Paul who has the best knowledge of the Saint Lawrence!. So don't hasitate and book the Carp holiday of your life! Candian Carpin' is just mental! Paul of Candian Carpin'. holidays is de top van het karper vissen. Ik ga in September voor de 5e keer! Het is een verslaving geworden. De Saint Lawrence River met zijn sterke karpers, waar je nog grote aantallen kunt vangen. Zeker met de kennis van Paul die al jaren visgids is in dit fantastische gebied. Mooie natuur met prachtige stekken op de rivier. Lisa zorgt voor heerlijk eten en het verblijf is ontzettend luxe. Er ontbreekt je aan niets, materiaal en alles wat je nodig hebt is aanwezig. Wil je ooit nog eens oersterke karpers vangen die nog nooit een haak gezien hebben ga dan eens in Canada vissen! Een onvergetelijke ervaring! ✌

Hi Paul.
Forget all those foreign fish in land locked lakes - feel the excitement of fishing for truly wild St. Lawrence river carp. I’ve been fortunate to visit Paul Canadian Carpin Holidays operation on a number of occasions over the years. It’s such an adventure, the vastness of the river, the power of the carp in running water all set in a backdrop that is truly special. Paul are the very best of host from Paul knowing the river like the back of his hand to the remarkable accommodation and food - simply put the whole experience is unforgettable ✌

Hi Paul.
I've fished with Paul twice and can honestly say they are the most amazing hosts you will ever meet and the fishing is just insane once those carp take your bait they will strip 100yrd of line off your reels before you can stop them and the surroundings are just out of this world ✌✌✌✌✌

Hi Paul,
I would like to say a big thank you Paul for making us feel very welcome and really making a great fishing holiday for us both, Thomas has not stopped talking about it all day and has asked me can we book again. Obviously i will be coming in May 14 and also i will take a look and discuss with wife regarding another trip later in 14 for myself and my 8 year old son tom, once again a big thanks to you both for everything.

Hi Paul.
My brother Wayne and I have just returned from our two week trip at Canadian Carpin Holidays. We would like to thank our host Paul for he's excellent hospitality and all the other guests we met that made our our fishing a memorable one. In total we caught 172 fish...weighing in at 3454lbs an average of just over 20lbs per fish. The largest at 34.08 and the smallest at 10.00. The weather was unusually very warm for June and on some days the fishing was slow but with Paul's encouragement we all caught good bags of fish. Will be back next year and hope to meet up with some of the guests we met this year, the accommodation and food was 5 Star

Hi Paul
For five years running now I have had the pleasure of fishing with Canadian Carpin Holidays:-) 5 * Accommodation, 5 * Food, 5 * Hosts, 5 * Fishing. A true jewel in Canada's Crown.

 Hi Paul
"To anyone thinking of going to Canada to carp fishing firstly do not worry about all that money and the risk of blanking - you will catch more carp than you could dream of back home - its a fabulous experience. We have been several times with different providers before finding CCH, Paul and without doubt the care, equipment and the whole fishing experience with them is second to none.  We have already booked our second trip with them".

Hi Paul
I look at for a different carpin holiday, I came up with Canadian Carpin Holiday. checked it out on youtube, it sounded kinda unreal, pick up, meals, tackle, baited swims, travel to the swims etc. Ok we booked. Just like the advert it does what it says on the tin! We were picked up from the Airport with a nice smile and polite, every ok. Paul provide all carp tackle and tells you how to fish the swim. We caught a huge 845lb of carp in one day session.If people reading this are kinda like ok don't believe this, Paul's expertise and super knowledge of fishing the St Lawrence river was the best!.Just do it!

Hi Paul,
Just a quick thankyou for looking after me in 2011, that's 6 trips now, some more challenging than others, but every trip with the outstanding quality of Hospitality, Accommodations, Tackle, Guiding, and of course the wonderful cooking, Cant wait for my re visits to start with you in May, and I have booked my carpin holidays for 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 too, My biggest to now is 37lb+ but hopefully that Magical dream of a St. Lawrence river 40 will become a reality.

Hello Paul,
The first time we visited was far more than we ever expected with 527 carp between the five of us with 50 30lb+ caught including 3-40s to 47lb+ and loads / loads of 20s.Then after a exhausting day catching the hard fighting St. Lawrence carp we returned to one of Lisa’s first class evening meals. Before we left for home we had to book a trip for the next year and booked the trip for later in the year so we could fish the dam swims The fishing was just as hectic with just as many carp caught again including another 34 30lb+ carp and loads of 20s between us.Each trip since our first trips has produced 90 to 100 carp per angler.

Hi Paul,
I would just like to say that my week fishing with you at the River Rock was one of the best weeks angling I have ever had. Although I have not managed to get back sooner I have been singing your praises to everyone I meet. The takes, if you are old school like me need to be seen to be believed. Hospitality, accommodation, food, fishing, wildlife and scenery were second to none. I will be out again asap, tight lines.

Dear Paul,
Anyone who is thinking of a trip that's different to the french experience, fishing for entirely wild fish that have never seen a hook when that next fish could be a special life time occasion then contact Canadian Carpin holidays your host paul will collect you from the Airport and drive you back to there 5 star accommodation show you to your top quality rooms, then you can meet up in the anglers area which is spacious and finished to a high standard have a beer from the bar talk to like minded individuals listen to people who have returned year after year telling stories of epic battles, then introduced to the tackle you will be using which is again top end kit, then retire to get ready for dinner this is when you eat a fantastic three course meal prepared and I have to say it's fantastic, you have a few drinks a chat then discuss where everyone is fishing the following day. Whether your trip is one week or two I quarantee you will be hooked and want more. Check out there Website.

Been there twice, absolutely loved it ! Paul is a great hosts, fishings great, carp to 38lb+ and the food is absolutely brilliant ( desserts ). Will be back to check out the new premises !
