Michigan's Au Sable River Angler fly fishing shop in Mio, Michigan on the banks of the Ausable River

The Conrad Sculpin

The Conrad Sculpin is the result of a "haunted and twisted man" wasting countless hours at the fly tying vise plotting how to fool the "biggest fish in the ditch".

The outcome is an articulated fly with 2 hooks that swims like a fleeing sculpin when moved rapidly and limps & winds like an injured sculpin when drifted and twitched. It maintains enough body mass when wet to create the silhouette of a fat-headed, tapered-body sculpin with an active, wiggling tail.

We have them in yellow, tan, white, olive, chartreuse/white, tan/white, black

Large

4.5 to 5 inches in length

Medium

3.5 to 4 inches in length

When wet, you see that the fly maintains body mass and the splayed tail maintains its shape while creating a pronounced wiggling action.
