Aaron, thanks for the idea. I had just been throwing on the GoPro for fun in case anything cool happened, but never really thought of doing it as an educational/instructional video. I hardly consider myself an "expert" at this point, but enough trial and error experience to start getting some good results. I'll have to try one next time I'm out there. Hopefully the carp will cooperate, and people won't think I'm TOO weird for talking to myself.
For everyone's reference for the questions you specifically asked, I was throwing a basic bead-head soft hackle. I throw those nearly every time, but have also had success on a hare's ear nymph. I ran into someone that said he was having better luck this year using bigger flies. As far as the hole I was fishing, it wasn't really one specific hole or section. I've found they can literally be anywhere along the canal in the sections I've fish, which is between lock 6 and 8. There are a few places where I can usually expect to find them every time - particularly around downed trees - but seemingly no real rhyme or reason to where I find them one day (or even one hour) compared to another.
I'll likely get back out there either Friday afternoon or one day this weekend if you/anyone would like to join me.

Jeff,Thanks for the post. I now can't stop thinking about giving carp a try. I liked your video and I will definitely be giving that part of the C&O a try soon. If I may make a suggestion, I was wondering if you would try to show us and at least mention the flies that you are using along with any other specific information on the fish or the hole you are fishing at. I know your fishing for your own enjoyment but we could also use it as an educational video too. Just a thought.Thanks,Aaron--To view this discussion on the web visit https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/tidal-potomac-fly-rodders/2d3ad63d-ca8c-47fb-b061-974235e71188%40googlegroups.com.
