    Well...yes at certain times. I've run into situations on both the lake and river where the carp seem to be feeding on the floating "foam". They won't actually take a fly off the surface except by accident it seems, and you can't really present anything very well in the thick foam. But something suspended a bit below the foam can get strikes. That was the situation I encountered this particular day. It doesn't always work, but sometimes it does. Turns out there was some big shad hanging out in the area too.
