At this POINT I cut a small piece of micro tubing and slide it onto the hook point . I've stuck myself so many times ...The trailing I went with a # 10 bait hook .It's hard to guess what he is using but a size #8 was to small.So I did my first one,I put three strands of Christal Flash on either side of the tail and 4 strands on the shank before tying in the last hen feather and it looks great . Thank you for the pattern. Ken OH, just a tip , I used a rubber band on the post of my vise to keep the stinger hook under control... No hook in my finger BEAUTIFUL !!!🤣😂😅🙃😉😊😛
Cool fly Jake, I like that flipper tail. I bet a small metal blade rigged on the hook would work too for when you need flash or sound in dark water. I like your bench too, looks like a real party ;o) Thanks!
Love the side panels on the trailer, I love using Guinea Hen for that, the dots making for an excellent attractor. What do you use for editing software Jake?
Yes! Intended for steelhead but I also swing it for smallmouth bass and resident rainbows/browns for that I just downsize the hook to a size #4 intruder hook vs the #2-1 for steelhead.
Great pattern and nicely done! Come on Spring!! Personally, I like fishing streamers and wet flies. This little compact pattern looks like a gem.

Very cool fly! It was a new take on sculpin flies, at least for me. Is this intended for steelhead, rainbows/browns, or both?
Yes! Intended for steelhead but I also swing it for smallmouth bass and resident rainbows/browns for that I just downsize the hook to a size #4 intruder hook vs the #2-1 for steelhead.
How about schlappen for the body? Just a thought. Great sculpin.
Yupp of course ! its a great alternative .
Amazing!
Andrei Bogdan Thanks Andrei!
Че веселенько получилось.
Can you articulate this with a hook instead of the shank
Odd question why don't you just run the hook right on the shank? Is there an advantage to using the power pro loop?
It can swing more freely
Looks good Jake. The hens look great, are you selling them?
Piscator Flies Thanks Darren! Yes i am, along with alot of other tying materials on my site, theflyfiend.com
Have you ever tried using OPST’s shanks?
Hey Justin, Yes I have, I really like them! just cant always get my hands on them.
