This fly has kind of been on the back burner in my box, but it has caught plenty of fish since it's birth. Also, since we got these Finz from Jonathan Kiley we have been going nuts by putting them on about any fly pattern that warrants them. The Mohawk sculpin was a perfect candidate for some fin addition surgery, so on they went. The original mohawk sculpin is listed HERE for your reference. You will see that we have made minor changes to other parts of the fly, but for the most part the fins are the only big change.

Cheech in regards to your other sculpin patterns is there a time and place for each one or do you just go with whatever pattern you are feeling at the moment
ReplyDeletekind of just whatever I'm feeling at the moment. The belly Scratcher is a good one for picky fish...
