Like pike, they are long-lived; referring to which, Ben Jonson says:--

"Fat, _aged carps_, that run into thy net,

And pikes, now weary their own kind to eat."

During the winter months carp are caught in broad, quiet parts of the

river; in summer, in holes and reaches, under hollow banks, and near beds

of weeds or flags. All kinds of bait are recommended, but a well-scoured

worm is often best.
