Low Fat Sculpin
Cheech - March, 2023
This pattern is a product of always tinkering with sculpin patterns. I love how the sculpin toad swims but I wish it were a bit simpler to tie. I literally had this idea come to me in the middle of the night and I rushed to work, ran upstairs to my vise, and cranked a few out as concepts. After a bit of tweaking, this is a super simple pattern that will swim just like a sculpin. I also tie these in tan, but I bet it would be good in many colors and sizes.
