I tie a couple patterns very similar to this pattern for rainbows, Dollys/bulls, and steelhead over here in WA. I normally tie a stinger on a shank, this gives you a little more added leverage to keep the fish on the line, does less damage to the fish because you can use a smaller hook, and also you can easily change the stinger hook out or remove it to sharpen. Another thing I like to do is taper the tail to a point. I do love the technique you use for the wool, a lot less messy, great!
I ran out of room. I didn't really get to it, but great tie! You basically took my two favorite sculpin patterns that I like to tie and put them into one. Defiantly going to add this one to my box. Over here fishing the Skagit, one can't have enough sculpin patterns. Thanks again, great video!
I am going to buy material for this fly today. I love to fish stremers for big trout here in Missouri at Lake Taneycomo. What rod and leader/tippet do you use with this pattern? Awsome looking fly!
@ebowen3006 -- Did you tie any up yet?? I usually use my 5 wt and 0x-3x tippet... Its a pretty light fly so it casts great with a 5 wt. I have also used it with my 7wt and a heavy sink tip for some of the lakes out in CO. I've found that stripping it in with a long and delayed action works best in the lakes (at least out here!) Thanks for the post
Very nice streamer patter. Will work great on the tailwaters here in TN.
