With what you have described and dependant on weather i would start at the top of the bottom 3rd to start with and work up on a overcast, cold, wet day.

If it was sunnier then i would start in the top 3rd and work down.

I can remember walking on the ice as a kid and seeing carp just below it.
I've also spent a fair bit of time drifting around on boats and have seen plenty of carp in the top third.

so ive used adjustable and caught on them, so confidence isnt an issue, usually in the spring months when the carp are in the upper layers and can be seen or expected to be within the top 3rd of the water column.

Now going into winter on a low stocked water with depths to 29ft in places im wanting to try a zig.

whats your starting point, I usually separate the depth into 3, lower,middle and upper. ill only be fishing it on 1 rod as its 2 rod water so will only be covering the water column with 1 rod.

whats your starting point in winter?? ive heard of stories of fish being aught in winter at 3ft under the surface..
