Hello Mark,, i also came across these.... http://www.garryevans.co.uk/dragon-carp-fly-selection-835-p.asp

If you're really lazy you can just superglue an actual dog biscuit to a hook and cast that easily with a fly rod

Not strictly "fly" fishing I know but then tying a "fly" to look like breadflake or dog biscuit is hardly purist either

Later in the year try some naturals like sedge flies or daddy longlegs once they come. You'd be surprised to see these fish eat the naturally occuring food that they should be munching on too, I KNOW...crazy isn't it. Fish eating insects! Whatever next!!!
