Tip: Cast past the fish, not onto it, because carp dislike a plop, so land line away from the fish and let the soft fly and leader settle gently
How to do it: Cast beyond the fish, landing line away from it so the fly settles gently, avoiding a plop on the fish

Why it works: A plop on a carp spooks it instantly. Casting past and settling gently gives a natural presentation.
When it matters most: Carp fishing, casting
