User's notes
The first one swam away from the bank with a loud “plop” sound after I unintentionally startled it because I was not aware it was there. I then saw three carp further out from the bank facing up-stream in the Cotter River, slowly swimming against the flow of the river but drifting gradually back. The fish I photographed appeared to be eating bottom matter. The fish sometimes twisted its body while its mouth stayed on the bottom.
