The tough part about carp is that seeing them and catching them are two entirely different things. It is more difficult than you would ever believe to get one to eat a fly. People laugh about carp fishing but it can be very demanding.
If you know a summer spot where fish that size hang out (common carp, not buffalo), I'd definitely be interested in having a look. That said, my experience has been that unless they are up on a shallow flat feeding where you can see them and put a fly right on their nose, it is very hard to get a hookup.
