Pop fly of the week!

There are a great many flies out there that I don’t tie. This is a new segment meant to look at some of the best.

1: Sculpzilla!!
When you are out on your favorite trout river and things are looking bad, no hatches, no drys, and it's fall. The nymphing is poor, and let's face it, it's not the most fun. But damn, you left you seven weight with the fast sinking line at home. You know the trout are eating something a bit bigger. You still have a chance with that floating line. Gear up that six weight floating line and arm it with sculpzilla Jr. This fly has a great cone head for getting it deep even in current. It in larger sizes sinks like a stone. The cone head with eyes is a great touch, but the soft hackle collar, and the rabbit strip tail make this fly deadly. But the best part is the hook design. Tied with a gamagatsu octopus hook, that is almost all the way in the back, articulated, you keep most of the movement, but have perfect hook placement that is even better for getting a clean hook up. They come to match almost every color needed. These flies will get you the monsters, but also you will not miss out on the tiny guys too. Pack a box of olive and tan today. You will not regret it.
