Another huge thank you to everyone who has supported our channel! This is quickly becoming a fly that we tie on regularly! The only thing I would change is maybe move the hook a little closer to the main body as the hook hangs quite far back. - And it is tied a little sloppily, but that's the nature of guides tying flies lol!

It's refreshing to see videos of fly tying where the fly doesn't turn out perfect. You didn't edit it out and showed us a fly that will catch fish nonetheless. Thanks!

Beautiful fly. This is how I tie my sculpins with power pro stingers. Sometimes I use pine squirrel zonkers instead of rabbit.

I really like your style and fly tying sensibilities. Funny, I thought I was the only person to twist loop rabbit strips. I sometimes like to put more than one color on the loop to nice affect but not always. You're my kind of tier.

Just a quick discovery I made on hook choice. I buy tiemco tmc 105 egg & flo bug hooks 2x strong in size 6 and smaller and bend the eye up. Since factory stingers hooks only go as low as size 4 this mod gives me the flexibility to make small intruder bunny strip leaches/intruder proportional. I've landed Olympic and BC steelhead with this hook with never a worry. Just passing it along. Tight lines....

Nice! Amateur question: The braided line will not pull out of the waddington shank if you're fighting a big chinook in the current? Looks like there's only thread holding it down and no knot. Cheers.
@CooperLandingFishingGuide4 жыл бұрын
Hey Lindsey! Thank you for the question! If you double the braid back through the front eye of the shank and back down the shank, it will definitely not pull out. I suppose it all depends on the fish you are chasing. Most of mine I double back to make sure it doesn't happen. Here's how I do it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqfGd3lqe5WNfLM Thank you for the question and for watching!

Dave, At least two of the flies that I will be sending up your way are my variations of this Sculpin fly. Just curious as to what color your native Sculpin are in the rivers you fish ?? Ours in Michigan are a brownish mottled color, so mine have that coloring. I will most likely be tying them up tonight. I will let you know when I send out the flies. David M.

Stupid question but why use a shank/cotter pin instead of a hook?
@CooperLandingFishingGuide Жыл бұрын
Generally, due to the "short strike" nature of some fish on the swing. Mostly trying to make the fly longer, while also being able to have a shorter shank hook so the fish don't have leverage that they would normally have with a longer shanked hook. It also gives the fly much more movement.
@GregariousAntithesis Жыл бұрын
@@CooperLandingFishingGuide i asked because i have started tying double hook 1 and rear 6 rear articulated streamers couldnt see why a shank would be a better choice than a hook and still not sure. Spey flies remind me of the old school NY eaatern double hook streamers in contrast to the west double hook using fine cable between hooks.
@CooperLandingFishingGuide Жыл бұрын
@@GregariousAntithesis Ah gotcha! You could absolutely do that for sure. Up here in Alaska, multiple hooks are illegal in most waterways, so if the front "shank" were actually a hook, you could just cut off the hook (that's how these types of flies were originally tied) - with a donor hook as the front part of the fly :)
@GregariousAntithesis Жыл бұрын
@@CooperLandingFishingGuide now that is some crazy shit. Illegal to have multiple hooks. I get not using treble hooks for obvious reasons but not multiple single hooks that doesnt even make sense why that would be an issue. Pure irony when you consider commercial fishing and bycatch.
