As you may know last year I
won the MFC / OBN fly designer contest. Well, it looks official, my
Primordial Crust Carp Fly (and yes that was the very first Fly-Carpin post) is now available from Montana Fly Company. If you would like to try it out you can either order some from an online shop such as
Dreamdrift Flies or ask your local shop to pretty please order some. Check out the
sweet rotating 360 degree picture from MFC.

I myself have some waiting for me at Colorado Skies fly shop. This is actually my second order, the first one got put on the floor on accident and sold out, which is pretty cool!
Its getting to be the time of year when a meaty fly like the Crust can really shine for big fish. Two of my biggest fish last year came in the spring on a Crust.

Not an expert, but the Crust seems to work for Trout too. In an ironic twist the only two Trout I have caught on the DSP were both around 18", caught in the fall and fell to a Crust "carp fly" on a blind swing through shadowed runs.

In case you haven't noticed I am pretty carp-centric these days so I have not actually tried it for Bass. I have no doubt that the Crust is a worthy bucket-mouth fly as well though.
