I live in a small town of around 11,000 souls called Two Rivers in Wisconsin, USA. Years ago, our town earned the nickname "Carp Town" among the locals because of the large carp that travel up the river from Lake Michigan every summer. We have a small festival every summer called "Carp Fest", and several people from all over the world travel here to compete in the tournament to catch the largest carp. I have a recording studio here that is along the bank of one of our rivers, and I named it "Carp Town Studios", and during the warmer months I regularly feed the carp, and other wildlife behind the studio. Liked, subscribed, shared! Thanks for the content!

I lgrew up in Watertown, weird town but we had similar activities

[@mike_hunt4783]

I'm only 15 and you've taught me how to catch my first double figure carp. Awesome video

Changed my river strategy this year and instead of feeding just one spot I started feeding 3 which are 200m apart. When fish are feeding on one spot I tend to get a bite within the first twenty or thirty minutes. If not I move to the next spot. Since the fish in my river seem to move around a lot this works much better than feeding one spot for a longer period hoping they will eventually settle which they never really do. Since my three spots all have different depth, structure and current I feel like it's much less likely that I'm fishing on the wrong spot and miss out on the fish because of changed conditions. I also keep my sessions very short, half an hour per each spot but instead do more sessions and try to cultivate those areas. Yes with more feeding spots you risk spreading the fish but who says you can't fish three or 4 different spots in one session? Anyways it's been a complete game changer for me and I feel like an idiot having always tried to force river fish to feed on just one single spot 🤦‍♀️😅

[@tama0889]

You guys are an inspiration to brother everywhere. I wish me and my brother got along this well. Lol

[@FunnyFactoryACHA]

Holy shit these guys still make videos I remember they were just young kids !!

[@RicTic66]

Great video lads. The river I fish is a "fat river" as opposed to your "thin river" 😁 but there were lots of useful tips I can use. Also around my area there are lots of old mill streams and slow backwaters which I know hold carp. I will definitely be giving it a go in the next few weeks. Ps fantastic film work. really professional. 👍😊👍🐟🎣

[@1rod1linefishing75]

Think you guys are amazing keep up the hard work 200k subscribers just around the corner glad to be apart of the community

Thank you so much! :)

[@mrdjr6544]

Sweet video lads. What I love in most of your vids is the simple rig. Hair rigged corn or snowman boilies. Shows how accessible carping is to all. 👍🏼

[@billydelahaye611]

Works really well on little river would love to see you guys target a bigger river but love the video

beautiful video, congratulations fisherman.👍🎣😊

You should do one of these videos but with river Tench

Is it possible to add subtitles to the video's because i'm from Belgium and I don't understand everything. Go on with your fishing video's and tutorials, I love them!

Forget about the polarized glasses, use a drone with a polarized lens like you have. That's the game changer !

[@bert_carplife]

Thanks for the video, I have my confidence back to keep trying on the river!

Good to hear!

your videos are so pieceful. Id love to see a summer team up with sea fishing guru "the fish locker" both your types of videos are lovely the filming quality is something else. ASMR like from both of you. Keep up the good work.

Great point about using a longer hook link to keep the weeds from covering up the hook bait. Great video guys.

Great river fishing tips!

[@PeasantPB]

Not sure about in the UK but in Ontario, Canada especially during the late spring/early summer we catch a lot of carp in fast flowing water but it's usually below locks and dams

[@bigbearddahuzi1036]

That was a lot of really great information! That... wasn't a river though. That was a nice stream. Still, a really helpful video

[@fishingtutorials]

Thank you mate :) Glad you found it helpful! The definite line between a river and a stream can sometimes be pretty hard to pin down however in this case this is definitely a small river (or tributary) which then directly feeds into the main river: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tributary

[@SammyBFilms]

This river looks awesome! Don't suppose you can tell me where it is?? :-)

[@zpie7137]

Keep up great vids

[@OH-fp3gv]

Another fantastic video once again ! Can you please do a video on how to use Arma Kord ? I purchased some the other day, but I have no clue what it is used for !

[@fishingtutorials]

Hi mate, we'll try and cover it one day in a video. In simple terms though, we tend to use a couple of rod lengths above our rig when fishing in snaggy conditions. We tie it to the mainline with an Albright knot, check it out it's a very strong knot to attach two lines together and works well with mono to braid, just be sure to fold the mono back on itself and wrap the armakord around it, not the other way round :)

I think I hooked into a carp in the Kennet and Avon while night fishing, it steamed off up stream and straightened out my hook I never saw the fish but I don’t think it was a barbel, but me and a couple friends had 7 barbel between us that night.

[@Billy2011C]

Some great tips, thanks lads.

[@fishingtutorials]

No problem 👍

Great video lads , as usual a pleasure to watch you . What kind of landing net are you using? Cheers

What river is this? Most don't have them in

[@TheBajt]

@@petertomo95 River Drava, it has lots of catfish in it, recently 70kg cat was catched at the exact spot where I fish, yet I can't hook single one lol

[@georgemarch6752]

TheBajt the catfish will feed on the smaller fish so I would use smaller dead fish as bait.

[@Jay-xl6ll]

great video could i just ask what but rests you use when your not using the woodland sticks 😂👍🏼

I caught a couple of carp in one particular area of a creek last year, around June-August. Do you think that if I go back there around that same time of year, they will either still be there or have returned from breeding?

[@givesumathat7157]

Your snow man rig how do u stop the bottom bait from sliding on the hair or does it not matter if it does ?

[@fishingtutorials]

Hi mate, try tying the hair loop larger so that the knot sits inside the bottom bait. ;) That works for us as the knot holds the bait still!

Thanks lads tight lines and wet nets

Fishing Tutorials cheers 👍🏻👍🏻

[@benridler5163]

Fantastic video any pointers on quantities your pre baiting with? And how long for?

[@fishingtutorials]

This has a lot to do with the number of fish, and size of river. But on our local small river, we threw in about 5 to 10 handfuls of bait each day for a week before fishing. Everywhere will be different though, for example on a big river like the Thames you'd have to put in a few KGs every day to make much of a difference as there would be many more bream and small fish eating it up!
