Flavouring my dry flies

Hi Roffians,
a short message from Holland.
I am trying to catch big carp on the dry fly.
It is pretty tough; most of the real big ones are being caught so often,
that they really seem to know the trick.
I am now practising new tactics on smaller ones first.
Results are promising, BUT
I FLAVOUR MY FLIES IN SIROP !!!!!

Interesting. There was a spot along a river where I used to live where
floating mulberries would occasionally be eaten by carp. I was told by
another fly fisher that he could catch them on a purple mulberry fly
during those occasions. What fly are you using or do you believe it's
merely the sugar water which attracts them?
