This is just a thought as it has been on my mind and not very helpful but--. When I went to a day ticket lake three weeks ago which is mainly a carp lake I saw a lot of carp swimming about on the surface, they didn't appear to be feeding but' when I went the following week I packed a small fly rod with an idea to give it a try maybe.. However, when I got there 3 other anglers were there this time who were carp fishing with multi rods splayed out so I thought maybe best not to try the fly rod, I imagine it would have ****** them off considerably..
Reading this opening post where carp are not having the usual surface baits and problems with ducks etc, would fly fishing for them work. Also the owner had said something interesting the week before, he reckoned there were not many coarse fish in the lake once upon a time because the carp where feeding on their spawn but he had noticed in recent years they have been more interested in the fly hatch and he reckoned the coarse fish had increased because their spawn were getting a break.
Like my instance, I doubt there would be many instances where trying fly fishing for carp would be viable but I might just try to go back to that lake one day in the week when nobody is there and try it and it is just another surface fishing method after all.
