Helpful video! The underwater sculpin footage is great.

Thank goodness someone got on this topic. Cracks me up when I see people tie unweighted sculpins that are swimmy and floaty flies. Doesn't matter how much it looks like one, if it doesn't swim like one it's not hitting those action match the hatch triggers of true sculpin behavior, then it just shows it's the only other fish you can name in the river. Thanks

Bingo, if the fly doesn't act like what it is representing or even get to the area where the food item lives it seems very ineffective. Thanks for the comment!

Thanks very much. I plan to learn spey fishing by swinging sculpins for trout. I think this will be very beneficial. I'll try and do slow swings bouncing it off the bottom the whole way.

time in the water, SEEING with your own eyes the way the underwater world actually works, is incredibly valuable.

Agreed, I learned more in the water in an hour than a month fishing!

A topic I think you’d have excellent advice on is how to effectively get measurements of a trophy fish in order to make a mounted replica. I also think it would be helpful if you broke down your top 10 go to flies for trout fishing. I always find in interesting to hear what flies people have most confidence in.

Awesome, thank you. I will definitely put those on the list to cover. I appreciate the comment and the suggestions!

I have an 11’ 3wt euro rod that I have used to become proficient at bottom bouncing small nymphs on my home river. At approx 1500cfs, I use bead head flies and 2-3 B size split shot. I am practicing using larger, heavier baits (1/8oz to 1/2oz) on 7’ spinning rods to imitate baitfish and sculpin, but would like to know how heavy of a fly you use on your rods. I need the length of my euro rod and can’t figure out the ideal setup.

I fish on the Kenai River in Alaska, and when I use sculpin patterns in the late fall, I am usually Spey casting. Now, I catch fish this way, and I love Spey casting, but I wonder if I could catch more fish with a different technique. Yes, I am on the bottom, but swinging means the fly is moving pretty fast. After watching your sculpin video, that is not how they move. Do you have any ideas on how to improve my catch rate? Should I stay away from sculpin patterns when swinging?

Those fish on the Kenai may or may not be eating the swung fly as a sculpin, my guess is they see a lot of food and eat because it triggers something in them to eat. That being said I am sure sculpins are a big food source for them and it is probably worth experimenting. Personally I would get a longer rod, say a 10' 7wt and try fishing them euro nymph style with a sculpin tied jig style and bounce it along the bottom. I bet you would catch some fish and maybe, you might catch a lot more. My buddy Gilbert Rowley fishes steelhead in the fall on a euro set up and has had a lot of success.

Thanks Derrik! I'll give your idea a try this fall. I appreciate you answering my questions. @@troutacademy
