FLYLAB - Carp Are Difficult to Pattern

I've been on somewhat of a carp bender over the past month or so with a day trip up to North Carolina, a few days on Beaver Island in the middle of Lake Michigan, and then back to North Carolina last week for a morning with Dave Fason.  In short, I am captivated by carp and all of the environs where they thrive on diets that range from bugs, berries, crayfish, clams, vegetation, and even chasing down other fish.  

Kirk Deeter's recent Flylab article, Carp Are Difficult to Pattern, is a good read and also points to his book, The Orvis Guide to Fly Fishing for Carp, which I highly recommend for your library if you don't already have a copy.  

Give Carp Are Difficult to Pattern a read and let me know where are you are fly fishing for carp this summer.  What are they eating right now?  Last week for us it was little dark purple berry flies and Carp Kwans of various sizes and colors.  Figuring out the "code" is just part of the fun.
