As far as the Fly South carp tournament goes, the buffalo count too so that's not an issue, but for the TARP it has to be a common carp.

Either way, the fish I've seen at the confluence of the Harpeth and Cumberland and close to most of the tailwater areas tend to be milling around near the surface sunning themselves. They aren't actively feeding fish - they can still be shot with a bow, I guess, but they're not really catchable with a fly or lure.

To catch a carp or buffalo on hook and line, you pretty much have to find fish that are actively feeding and put a fly or bait in front of them.

Very few realize how hard it can be to get a Carp to hit.
