Redmire Pool is near Ross-on-Wye in Herefordshire, England. It is considered the home of carp angling, The earliest sign of its potential was unveiled in October 1951 when a British record carp of 31lb 4oz was caught by Bob Richards. The water was made famous by Richard Walker who caught a British record carp, weighing 44lb, overnight on 13 September 1952. The fish, a common carp, was transferred to London Zoo. She was initially given the name Ravioli by Walker and named Clarissa by the staff of London Zoo.[1]
The record was beaten by another Redmire fish when, on 16 June 1980, Chris Yates caught the then record UK carp of 51lb 8oz. The fish, a linear mirror carp, was actually caught on a split cane rod that Richard Walker had made in 1952.
Redmire features in the BBC2 angling series A Passion for Angling.
