If you fish like me, you often fish
river and outlets due to the fact you can wade them and have an easier time
reaching the spots that fish hold in with you casts. In fly fishing this is almost life, when you
find yourself fishing a river, you often have to spend time swinging
flies. As far as trout go, many drift
nymphs and dry flies. But this there is
a group that like to streamer fish. Even
when the big fish are not around, smaller trout will strike streamers. The most popular prey of the trout is
sculpins. These tiny fish are perfect
food. They can range from less than an
inch to up to six inches. But trout are
not the only fish they eat. Bass, walleye,
and many others eat them. There is also
a common fish called a Darter that is super similar to sculpins.
When hunting trout, walleye, and
smallies. I get out my sculpin
flies. Not all have to be deer hair head
or wool headed flies. I decided to
develop two new, simple patterns for hunting trout. One is nothing more than an intruder fly
turned into a sculpin pattern and shrunk down to size.
The second is similar to a wooly
bugger. Both are small and simple. They will get you a lot of rainbows. Remember to fish these near the bottm.
