I wish I could be more help with the fly fishing questions, and I appologize for not being more adapt to that style of fishing. But, i'm working on getting set up in it, just haven't purchased the outfit yet. I will, however, see if I can recruit some help to jump in and give you some tips! So, be patient, i'm going to hit up some of our resident fly anglers to jump in on this one.
As for what the carp are "gulping" on, it may be nothing. Have you ever had goldfish in a fish tank before? Goldfish and carp are related, and many times just like to gulp the surface for some fresh air. They might not have been feeding at all, just sucking air.
Carp will also eat small insects and algea on the surface, so keep that in mind. But, keep watching this post, help is on the way! [cool]
