mikechell 0 Report post Posted February 21, 2015 Nice nymph, Sculpin. I really like the "gills" on the side. How did you get that effect? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sculpinmaster 0 Report post Posted February 21, 2015 Mike they are two ostrich plume fibres tied along side the abdomen with thread, you follow the edge of the nymph skin which also accentuates the segmentation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crazy4oldcars 0 Report post Posted February 22, 2015 vjc, Nice softies! For some reason, I'm always drawn to them. These ought to catch very well. The WB's look good, but I just never was interested in fishing with them. I've tied a few, and even fished them, but never had much luck. Kirk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
