Hi Derek.

Basically, when I have been summer Carping, I noticed that a lot of carp
will readily take flies off the surface. However, they are a lot more
cautious of Dog Biscuits.

So, I thought, what if I was to try a floating fly instead this summer?

Just one?

Nymphs are usually fished at or just below the surface btw though they can
be used deep.

Different flies and flyfishing methods apply for different species of fish
in
different venues and they vary with the season.

I might use something small and black for summer dace or huge and gaudy
for
pike. Chub will take s popper, daddy-longlegs or general fuzzy bumble,
grayling a Sawyer bug or roach a black and peacock spider - but each of
those would be used in a different time and place.

Just about everything will attack a mayfly or a big sedge - IF used at the
right time and place.

Tell us a bit more about the waters you intend to fish and when and maybe
we'll be able to be more specific.

Cheerio,
