I am going to South Cumbria to work soon and was wondering if there was any
decent carp fishing there.

There are probably a few somewhere but you are heading for an area with
wonderful trout streams and tarns, rivers with sea-trout and a few salmon,
lakes filled with perch, pike, char even...

You won't miss your carp fishing for the first fifteen years or so.

Cheerio,
