I used to fish for them with minnows on golf course lake behind where I grew up. There were some as big as 25-30lbs in those lakes. I'd use tuffies and a hook then sit while they came up the bank beside me. You would have to pitch the minnow out ahead then once the carp was close if he didn't see it immediately twitch it a little.
Trying to catch them on a flyrod seems like a challenge which is why it interests me and that is just getting the fly to them let alone after its hooked.
