Carp Fishing Bivvies

Types of Bivvies for Carp Fishing

There are plenty of things to consider when choosing the right carp fishing bivvy for your needs. 

You’ll need to decide whether you’re after a single or double skin option: the former is quicker to put up, less noisy and cooler during summer months, while the latter offers greater thermal insulation and reduces condensation - however, it takes longer to erect and may make more noise. 

Pram-hood style bivvy shelters require you to connect the poles, with tension poles in between to fan each section. So-called because of how they look, they’re a popular choice for longer fishing sessions where more space is needed. 

Your choice of bivvy will depend on the weather, your fishing duration and your own preferences. If you prefer to travel lightweight and enjoy shorter sessions, you’ll probably want a smaller carp fishing bivvy that’s easy to put up. If you have a lot of gear and you’re planning on fishing for multiple days, you’ll want a double-skinned option that will cover you for all potential weather conditions and have enough space for you and your gear.

Key Features to Consider in a Carp Fishing Bivvy

There are many factors to consider when choosing the right bivvy for your needs. Waterproofing is vital to protect you from the elements, as is the level of ventilation - especially if you’re heading out during the summer months. 

You’ll want to consider the ease of setup, especially if you’re fishing alone - and the same goes for the bivvy’s weight. Finally, durability is an important factor: you’ll want a bivvy that’s tough enough to withstand harsh weather, regular setup and dismantling, and transportation. Bear all this in mind when buying, and it’ll make it easier to choose a carp fishing bivvy that gives you the right blend of comfort and functionality.
