I may be wrong but I don't think that's a Crucian.

Looks like a small common to me???

Certainly doesn't look like a true Crucian....

No its not a crucian! Some guide eh!! I certainly wouldnt put my reputation on the line with just one photograph but it looks a lot more like the Carousso Carp (an ornemental strain I believe that was accidently stocked but not 100%)that we often used to use as bait for cats in France than a crucian.An easy mistake to make if youve not caught many true crucians as Ive see many English anglers do the same in France.

 

Every country Ive ever fished in seems to have its own "wild" population of a crucian carp similar/look a bit like(!) species that leave anglers unsure.

After another look at the tail it might have even been one of these-

 

 

What do you think Garry/Des was it the same?

[Fishy Dom]

Have to be honest mate i wouldn't say that it was a crucian either, theres a good article on id-ing crucians here

 

Hope that helps
