Grey Squirrel Sculpin

Ultimate sculpin fly! This is the third video in our series on how to tie fuzzy nymphs and streamer flies using hair and fur from skin patches.
Today I tie a small sculpin style streamer fly. It is kind of an upgrade on a pattern I’ve used for decades - but now pimped with new materials. This is equally effective in fresh- and saltwater and will imitate small minnows, sculpins, bullhead (also known as the 'Miller's Thumb') as well as dragonfly larvae, and other large insect larvae.
I mainly use this type of fly for perch and trout (sea run and resident) but it will catch most predators.

This is the third video in a series of 5. If you haven’t seen the first two– check them out right here:

Long story short

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
