We are delighted to welcome you to the World Carp Classic website. 2008 is a very special year in the history of the event as we will be celebrating our 10th Anniversary. It is great news that we will be returning to the lake where it all began….. the famous Lac de Madine in the Meuse region of France.
You can only wonder how big the carp will be now that were caught at 30 and 40lbs 10 years ago, and we are looking forward to seeing them again. We have been granted an exceptional dispensation to have access to more bank space than ever before and importantly, boats will be allowed for the first time in the competion at Madine.

Steve Howard writes - "Some may suggest that the WCC put Madine on the map, bringing it to the attention and forefront of the minds of countless anglers. Others will tell you that the incredible Lac de Madine was entirely responsible for the doubtless success of the WCC… I prefer to accept something inbetween that, and believe that both the lake and the competition were a match made in heaven, both playing equal roles and complimenting each other. It was (and is yet again now) a remarkably exceptional pairing, put together in a quite unique “Fred Astaire & Ginger Rodgers” blend that stands the test of time."
