GR-Sculpin  "Fly-Kit"tm

NOTE:  Finished fly on the left before coloring with a marking pen.  Finished fly on the right has been colored with a marking pen.  Top fly shows the "belly" of the fly which is left un-marked to reflect a natural "yellowish" color.

Sculpins and leeches have been popular patterns of fly fishers for many years.  Numerous patterns exist, many with very realistic features.   Our pattern is a combination of methods and materials that we have learned from Oliver Edwards of the United Kingdom and Joe of Canada.  Oliver’s engineering efforts helped us design a realistic imitation.  Joe’s unique use of traditional “egg” yarn for his streamers and sculpin patterns lead us to select egg yarn instead of wool or another material- for the head cavity.    Note; our fly is tied “hook up” and will fish this way if weighted during the tying process

If  you fish woolly buggers, Clouser's or big streamers give this pattern a try.  

Each "Fly-Kit"tm  includes:

  •  a custom tied fly, carefully packaged in a small plastic box.

  • color, digital, photographs of the tying steps.

  • a letter including material preparation tips & other information.

  • premium hooks in our favorite size.

  • all the necessary materials, hand selected, to tie eleven additional flies.
