I keep hearing about the willow flies (mulberries too), but they are always rising to willows the day BEFORE I fish. They are carpeting the surface somedays, and I can't find the sippers. I sure as heck can't find an overhanging mulberry bush either.
I have been lucky a few times seeing big lips slurping the foam lines on the Cumberland. Sometimes they'll eat, but mostly they spook.

Scum line feeders are dang hard, they eat the foam best I can tell, and are super spooky. Willow flies are really hit or miss and usually draw small carp. 7mm08 took a picture of me several years ago during the willow flies that was a classic. Maybe he still has it laying around.
Mulberries were great this year, but it was going on at the same time as the Cicadas, so I never got the chance, nor did I care 
Riverine carp are the easiest, they will run down a white streamer like a bass, and usually are bigger on avg. then reservoir carp.

River carp have been my go-to, although I've never tried a white streamer, never even thought of it. I'll have to give it a shot.
