So rather than start a new thread I thought I could jump on this one. Sticky just bought out a new Penning Vid (Reflections | Volume Four | The Campaign). In this vid he (Adam) mentions that over the last few years he's noticing the waters he's fished are not responding to "carpy" conditions. He'll look forward to those big low pressure systems and the big winds/rain that come with them, and when they arrive the carp shut up shop(!). I have also noticed this. This last few years the carpy conditions seem to be getting less and less special in terms of the carps response. The water I'm fishing this year is doing it big time; it has fished well when it's warm with high pressure, but when a big low pressure system rolls in on a new wind (those conditions you wait weeks for) the carp don't seem to be fussed one bit. In fact they stop showing for 24 hrs or more. Then as the conditions pass and the sun comes back out, whallop, the carp are happy again. Tbh I though it was just the water I'm fishing but after AP mentioned it about a few waters he's fished, it made me realise that it's been happening on the last 3 waters I've fished. So how can this be explained? Could it be the angling pressure (anglers all set up waiting on the end of the new winds)? Or could it be related to climate change and the increase in average temps? I'm struggling to come up with an answer so wondered if anyone else has noticed this or has an idea about an explanation?
