Project Sculpin | A Very REALISTIC Streamer Pattern! | Fly Tying Tutorial

[@paulebennett9342]

Love watching you Cheech Kelly Galloup, Charlie Craven. You guys are in my book of greats with Davie Mcphail, Jack Dennis, and the iconic Lee Wulff, and my personal favorite George Grant legend from Butte Montana. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience with the world. -Paule Bennett fly tying has been a huge part of my life and it never get tired of warching and learning. Thank you.

We need some underwater footage like your TOAD Sculpin. Great tie!

[@ridesingletrack]

Good looking fly! Would love to see it in a swim tank.

Brilliant tying cheech you really do come up with some amazing fly patterns !👏

[@ericlong9085]

Fantastic dubbing blend technique

[@glennplatvoet7111]

Nice glad I watched this again from N.J. very cold here but that's a hot fly need to make some up thanks

[@GeorgeSemel]

It's more like a must-watch Cheech KZbin! I will say one thing about NJ: Yeah, I am great, at least in my own mind. Watching you tie these in person was a highlight of a good year. The video is first-rate, as usual. And will the dig at Kelly, well, Kelly is just being Kelly. I am on my lunch break. I am up in New Hartford, CT, on the West Branch. It's a warm one for December. I sure like my iPad; I can sit, eat, and be educated all simultaneously.

Thanks for showing me this amazing pattern in person a bit ago! I'll try to ty something like this, very nice!

[@FullingMillTV]

Beautiful tying, Cheech!

[@FlyFishFood]

@@FullingMillTV thanks!

[@chrishenslick5482]

That looks pretty darn on point already. Excited to see when/if you can improve it.

[@thomasosvald8585]

Wow ! 😮

[@chrisfrantz8127]

Awesome fly!

[@matthanson4217]

cheech is my hero

[@benczarnecki9406]

Could you show us what it looks like in the water? Thanks for giving us such a detailed video, always enjoy watching your tying videos!

[@masteringrodbuilding]

Really well done. Would love to see this fly in the Tester!

[@michaellennemann7850]

Very nice.

[@RollinRollinReelin]

CHEECH! Where did you get that dubbing board? I've just been doing blending with two dog brushes pulling the brushes in different directions....too difficult! Please tell me how you made that board or where you bought it!?! Excellent realistic sculpin!

[@predatorking3131]

You could make a killer shrimp pattern with that keeling technique!! How big of a hook do you think is the absolute max size that this keeling technique will work on? I was thinking your baitfish tied this way but larger and with a heavier hook with black and purple would be killer for tarpon!

[@johnlaurin8899]

Couldn't you just make a dubbing brush with the wool to make the head ? Very cool! Will work very well for a Goby fish also. Look out smallies and walleye!

[@FlyFishFood]

@@johnlaurin8899 you certainly could. Getting a brush all to the same length and consistency can be kind of hard.

[@oceanabyssal4726]

Could you use anything else to burn the wholes

[@theredfishchronicles7929]

Sculpin wool is great, but could you do the same with EP Fibers? I am thinking about a mudminnow pattern now... Sculpin 1.0 "The Raccoon Fish"

[@FlyFishFood]

@@theredfishchronicles7929 you could. Might be harder to shape the head and get it to turn out. Also, EP fibers float, so if you have a Big dense clump of them the fly might not swim correctly. Wool absorbs like a sponge.

[@theredfishchronicles7929]

@@FlyFishFood Word. Thank ya Sir!

[@FrostyAlbatross]

Where might I acquire a brush pad like the one featured in this video?

[@spennykcn]

It’s called a carding block. They are available all over the internet. I think hareline sells one specifically geared towards fly tying. It’s more or less the same thing here but more expensive. I also use 2 dog brushes but never do that much at one time.

[@spennykcn]

What are the non serrated scissors you are using?

[@spennykcn]

@@FlyFishFoodthank you!

[@randistrunk2116]

What is the mat that you used th blend the wool

[@FlyFishFood]

@@randistrunk2116 carding cloth. I stapled it to a board.

[@JeremyCulbreath]

Got all the way to @39.26, then... hamster. Yes, I know it will look completely different in water, especially in profile. But now you can never unsee it. lol

[@Flyfish406]

I saw it too. But I was thinking mouse eyes.

[@paulebennett9342]

How does it fish ?

[@FlyFishFood]

@@paulebennett9342 pretty amazingly.
