Carp Duster

Throw the Carp Duster at laid up and mudding Carp to give them a new look. This is an extremely versatile fly, and should be renamed the Swiss Army Knife fly! Bass, Bluegill, Buffalo Carp, Catfish, Gar, white bass, crappie and Trout all inhale this fly. Note, the Pink and Yellow color is probably the most effective fly I've ever thrown to White Bass, they love this fly! Tied on a #6 or #8 Ahrex 60 degree mini jig hook so the hook rides hook point up to avoid snagging the bottom. Tied with X-small dumbbell eyes, but bead chain eyes can be substituted in place of dumbbell eyes on any colored fly, bead chain goes great with the size 8 hooks for a stealthier approach, just leave me a note upon checkout. This fly gets down fairly quickly and the chenille tail is extremely lifelike in the water. The mottled tan/brown tail with an orange dubbed head and bead chain eyes has been really good this Summer for me! This fly can imitate among others, Crane fly Larva, Caddis Nymphs, Leeches, Stoneflies, Dragon fly nymphs and damsel nymphs.
