Yeah you could see them all chasing around my fly.
I don't really specifically target them when up there just bored during slow crappie fishing. i threw on a number 12 BH red copper john and just stripped it back just under the surface, i hooked into probably about 6 in a half hour, none were landed on my 4 wt[
]. Also ive never heard or seen anyone use scent on flys, you have to figure carp are still eating the same aquatic insects, bugs, minnows that trout and other game fish eat. Its all matching what they are feeding on pretty much. Stripping a fly like that can mimic a few different prey options for carp or any fish.
