This year, I'm gonna try for carp. I saw a show on TV recently & a guy here in Ohio had Flip Pallott fishing for them. They used "berry" patterns as berries had been dropping into the water. The guide had Flip noisily "slapping" the fly on the cast as the noise mimicked the falling berries. That might be of some interest...I know it was to me. It worked for those guys.
