If they are rising to stuff on the surface, try a two fly rig. Try a whitish dry fly like an elk hair caddis or stimulator or similar that floats well, and a medium sized mayfly nymph immitation (10-12) underneath it. Black ones work well and you can give them a yellow hotspot if you want.
The carp sitting just under the surface often take the nymph rather than the dry fly.
Stephen's right. When fishing to carp, presentation is everything, but I think that is more correct for carp fishing on the bottom. A dead drift through the middle of the rising ones should get some results.
"So here’s my point. Don’t go and get your ego all out of proportion because you can tie a fly and catch a fish that’s dumb enough to eat a car key.." - Louis Cahill - Gink and Gasoline
