My name is Derek Darst. I`ve been a fly tyer for about 25 years. I was born and raised in St. Maries, Idaho along the banks of the St. Joe river. I specialize in trout flies and deer hair bass bugs. My flies have appeared in Fly fishing and Tying Journal magazine, Fly tyer magazine, and Idaho game warden magazine. Fly orders can take up to 1 to 2 weeks depending on number of orders ahead of you, size of the order, etc.
