I was working on a friends pond today and it was the first time this year that i had done so. All the carp went to the far side of the pond and were on edge as i was netting debris off the bottom. Yet last year they quickly learned to follow the net for the odd morsel and showed no fear to the extent that they were often netted by accident. So it seems that they have forgotten this was a source of food and not a threat.
So the question is....Do we as anglers put too much emphasis on the memories of the fish to the extent that we think old fish can recall previous ways they have succumbed to baits or methods in the past?
