It is one of Britain's most magical fish, but it is under threat as never before. Martin Salter from the Angling Trust explains the story behind efforts to reintroduce the crucian carp.
He visits Newbury Angling Association, Godalming Angling Society and sees restocking programmes first hand, as well as top tips from Midgham Manor Fisheries' Paul Smythe on how to catch crucians.
