On the Tulpehocken Creek near Reading, PA there are lots of carp. In very early July the Tully gets decent Trico spinner fall. A number of years ago I was fishing on July 03 and after the trout stopped rising I walked downstreaam a bit and tight against the far bank I could clearly see about half a dozen carp, in the 5 - 6 pound range, rising.

It was pretty cool so I still had my #20 Trico spinner on and 6x tippet and on the 2nd or 3rd cast the lead fish came up an inhaled the spinner. I thought it fought great and was into my backing in a few seconds. I wound up landing about three of them and it was great sport.
West Branch & main stem fly fisher for forty-two years.
