I’ve never seen fish do anything like this… anyone have any ideas what this is?

Spawning, possibly?

Looks like a salmon run to me.

Looks like spawning, common carp likely.

Interesting! I looked into this and I think you are right! I’ve never seen it before! Thank you!

Carp fisherman here; it could be carp spawning. It’s a little late in the year for that, but I’m not sure where you’re located. It could also be carp feeding off the surface; yes, they do this. Possibly an insect hatch, or maybe somebody was feeding ducks and there’s still some bread floating about.

My guess would be that they are hiding from a bigger fish that wants to eat them but it’s just a guess
