In our murky water the first stop in fly choice is VISIBILITY. You can get more specific after that point but w/o sound or smell on our side VISIBILITY is our main ally.
Then think about what carp eat (ok just about anything) but what might be their favorites?

If they're, tailing try something with bead chain eyes or lead eyes. If they seem to be feeding just under the surface, try a nymph that isn't weighted too heavily. First try something high visibility like Robert suggests and if that doesn't work try something more natural looking.

T he San Juan worm (#6 or 8) has worked for me and it's one of the easist flies to tie. In fairly clear water I use red. If it's murky, yellow works. I usually retrieve it ever so slightly if carp are cruising in, mainly to have a bit of tension on the hook so I can sense a strike. Carp are notorious for taking in and then rejecting artificials before you've had the chance to react, or even know that you had a hit. The fly, just a bit of chennille, looks like it shouldn't work at all, but it does, at least for me . I think carp are one of the most challenging and exciting fish to go after with a fly rod in these parts. Good luck....TIM
