I would use something big and hairy. Be prepared for a fight and I hope you have a heavy fly rod. Good luck!
In July's issue there was an article on it I think, can't remember the details off the top of my head though.
Have a look on line, there's many favorites...too many to list.
Remember carp eat a variety, bugs, crustaceans, berries, seeds, etc.
Also, they're very skittish and lots of finese needed on stalking and presentation. A big "plop" right next to a fish pretty much clears out an area.
Good luck.
Adams Dry Fly, Backstabber carp fly, small clouser, and if your into tying, try this,
1. Tie on some small green hackle so that it sticks out the back.
2. then cover thoroughly in purple deer hair.
3. Cut the deer hair into a sphere.
Look like a berry? It should! good luck fishing!
I would imagine something resembling a crayfish would be pretty effective.
The backstabber is definitely my first choice! http://coloradoflyfishingreports.blogspot.com/2010/09/how-to-tie-backsta...
crayfish patterns, bread patterns, dog food patterns pretty much anything will work for carp even wooly buggers.
