Fly Tying Video: Rag Man Sculpin

The Rag Man Sculpin was designed to fish faster, freestone type waters, but has proven itself on many tailwaters as well. It is a larger articulated pattern with a heavy head. This design not only gives the fly S-swim action in the water, but also creates a nice jigging movement when stripped or twitched. Don't let the somewhat simple tie fool you on its effectiveness. Lots of good things merge into one on this heavy hitting sculpin pattern. Try a variety of sizes and colors to match the sculpins in your favorite waters.
