cussfly16 0 Report post Posted February 14, 2010 A new addition to the fly pattern database has been submitted by cussfly16: Ezee Sculpin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cussfly16 0 Report post Posted February 14, 2010 I forgot to mention in the directions, that at the end take a permanent marker and color it appropriately. This fly is a lot of fun in the current but be sure to use large tippet to cut down on twist and landing large fish. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
David Legg 0 Report post Posted February 14, 2010 Those are very nice looking flies... they sure have a nice sculpin form. But I have a question... what is EZ Bug? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cussfly16 0 Report post Posted February 14, 2010 Ezee Bug is the name of the wooly material that you wrap these with. The packages I have are Metz so I figure its an Umpqua material. It has alot of applications, from nymphs to streamers, but it is kinda pricy for the amount you get in the package. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old Hat 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2010 Sorry didn't mean to hijack at all, Those really are great flies Cuss...going to have to get some of that material, lots of creative juices flowing there. My son came screaming while on the Lochsa River in Idaho last year about a "two headed something" down river. When we got there we saw this snake trying to swallow this sculpin. The sculpin was still alive and gasping for air while the snake was chomping trying to get it down. Unfortunately I don't think either probably made it through the ordeal. The sculpin wasn't going anywhere because the pectoral fins where keeping the snake from swallowing it anymore and from what I found out, or was told by a couple biologist that I showed the pic to, snakes can't kick food out once they start swallowing. Not to mention that the sculpin dorsal spines were probably inbedded in the snake's "throat". I call the pic "sculpin gulpin' " Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cussfly16 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2010 Sculpin Gulpin'..... :clapping: Well done sir, I enjoyed that quite a bit. Thanks about the flies guys, it is just a take on Mercers Rag wool sculpin, so its not really original but it has been working better for me. The tan fly in this picture was actually broke off the other day by a big brown on the strike. It was awesome and kinda scary. I figured 13 lb. Rio would prevent that, but it was vicious....
