Flies used?

Are you guys sick of my carp posts yet? I hit the canal for the first time this year this past weekend. I went out with Nick on Saturday and we got skunked. Really muddy water, and not many active fish. We had a couple looks and Nick ended up getting one to eat, but the hook didn't stick. I went back out on my own yesterday and it was completely different. The canal was way muddier. It had 6 inches of visibility in most places. I found one stretch of clear water where there were a few fish and finally connected. Dave and his wife ended up riding past me and stopped to help with the landing/photography/release. After that, I switched to using an indicator - something I rarely do - and ended up picking off two more. I learned a lot about indicator fishing for them yesterday which will be good for the future. The carp seem to be a lot bigger this year. Maybe they put on some weight over the winter. I also got hit by about a 10-12" largemouth and ran into a group of deer.
