I was reading the earlier post "tomorrow carp appointment"...and it brought up a few questions. One of my goals this year is to catch a carp on a fly rod. I know that they can be very spooky and a challenge to catch. Which is why I have chosen this pursuit.

#1-When sight fishing to carp are you mostly catching fish that are feeding or stirring up the bottom? Or are they up top surface feeding? Cruising??

#2- What flies to use...bottom feeding and also for surface feeding carp?

#3-What are you looking for when sight fishing and stalking? Stirred up sediment, the fish, the tail or fin sticking out of the water? What are the things that you are using as clues to spot these fish?

Looking forward to everyone's responses.
