Very interesting video. The last time I saw someone catching carp on the fly was about 25 years ago in Australia on a show called Rex Hunt fishing adventures. As per your question, carp are really resistant to low concentration of oxygen in the water and they usually prefer the warmer water in the upper layer on a sunny day since the speed of the digestion is dictated by the body/water temperature. They start feeding when the water temperature hits 40 up to an optimum of 77. At 77 degrees they can eat about 3-5% of their body mass and digest it in 4 hours.
When they shoal up like that you can do what is called in match fishing "mugging"...basically the same thing you do but with a floating pellet, piece of bread or dog biscuit. If they interested in the flies on the surface of the water you can basically do the "slapping" technique that is pretty explanatory in itself...you slap the bait on top of the water a couple of times and the sound made will stimulate carp to inspect your bait from much longer distances than any other sensory stimulation.
Tight lines from over the pound!!!

Thanks for the information on this. This is by the best explanation I have heard about what is going on here.

🤣those GEESE🤣
Another amazing video, man. Thank you 😎
I have to say though, it really kills me that I can't rig my Bote with the Tackle Rac in front. They simply refused to help me. Every time I see yours I get pretty pissed.
I love the way yours is set up.

The geese were pretty funny. I’m sure they were somewhat domesticated, but this little reservoir is a long way from anywhere I would expect to see that.
Bote. That bugs me too. I’m considering upgrading. I have beat the crap out of mine, and it has been incredible, but it must have the rack in front. So I am not sure what I am going to do.

Hooked my first mirror carp ever today.. right as I was about to get it in the net it came off and swam away between my legs. It was so beautiful from what I did see

[@carponthefly8282]

Congrats. They are such an awesome fish.

Most carp on the surface are air breathing but feeding on mini bugs/ flies or seeds. Most of the waters I fish are highly coloured and only fish close to the surface can be seen, question what flies would you use in these conditions,

[@carponthefly8282]

You need to somewhat look at the area you are fishing and try to match the good sources thy typically see. For me, the primary food source near the surface is damsel fly nymphs. So I fish simple unweighted leaches, which are a great damsel imitation. Also you can use other emerger style nymphs, but keep in mind the hooks need to big enough to stand up to size and fight of carp. A lot of trout hooks won’t work.
