Field Notes

Fish this fly near the bottom on rivers and streams where sculpins and other baitfish are present. It can be dead-drifted like a nymph or slowly stripped to create a swimming baitfish profile that appeals to predatory trout and other gamefish.

Pros

  • Heavily weighted to get down quickly
  • Swims hook-up to reduce snagging
  • Realistic sculpin profile with trigger eyes

Cons

  • Can be too heavy for shallow water
  • Best used where bottom contact is acceptable
