I never thought I'd get so much enjoyment and fishing knowledge from watching fly tying videos, great stuff! And thanks for supporting BHA.

Sculpinish - Resembling a sculpin; or sculpin like in nature.
Absolutely awesome as usual. Kelly is definitely a legend and rightfully so!
Thanks so much for sharing all of your patterns and for having in-detail tutorials. They’ve changed the way I fish and have increased my hook-up rate like crazy. Love hearing all the stories!
These videos are great! I watch them when i go to bed and they put me to sleep! Then I watch them again in the morning… but seriously I have learn so much from you thanks for putting these videos out,
love the videos I get more out of the rambling than the fly tying parts I love it so many inspiring ideas for future flies.
Thanks for sharing your experiences & knowledge, watching from Morocco
You should get a swimtank so we can see what it looks like wet and swimming!
I just posted a video on streamer junkies group on FB
You weren't kidding, this thing looks incredible in the water! Tying a few of these to try this season.
This is a killer tie up, Awesome content man!
As a FNG searching YT I just always end up making my way towards your channel and watching your videos on a continuous playlist. It’s really nice having all the extra input, side stories and education from your videos. Nothing better than a legend in the business giving us killer videos!
Here in San Diego California I’m tying up stuff for fatty Bass. Just about every video from you has valid information tips and insights that help me with my Bass Fishing “fly tying” quest.
So far the largest bass on one of my hand ties is 8.8LBS, the same evening I caught three bass over 8 pounds and numerous other Bass between 2 3/4 and 5 pounds all on my hand tied feathers👍.
Only making this comment because a lot of your tips help me innovate my lures into being a productive and sturdy option over plastics from big companies.
Thank you😎🇺🇸💪
Let’s go Brandon
This one is great. My old lady has trash bag after trash bag of wool fleeces she processes and spins and knits. I turn some into dubbing but this takes it to another level.
This is basically how you tie a gamechanger only with sculpin wool instead of the normal materials. I'm gonna have to dig out my sculpin wool and tie a sculpin wool changer now. Brahma hen changers with a sculpin helmet are my top producer in central Pa
Damn it, I just ordered stuff from you guys today and now I need more shit.
Looks cool👍
Hi Kelly!
Would be really cool of you could also show the action of the flies in the water in your videos
Very cool!
I dig it , anything that looks like and swims like a sculpin and are in your river fish will kill it ☠️ . One of my all time favorites , just went out yesterday chunking a sculpin pattern black and brown . Oh yeh :-)
When this video was first posted I noticed that the tying process and look of the fly were very similar to a game changer. So I took the sculpin wool, look of the fly, and tying steps and adapted it onto the game changer shank system then popped a sculpin helmet on the front. I just absolutely hammered the central Pa Limestone wild browns on it the next day fishing it on a mono rig system.
I was going to do this tonight! Did you weight it?
Is there a reason to pick the will out rather than comb it out? Would a simple small comb pull out too many fibers?
Fairly new to tying, tied this and it came out great. So here's the newbie question, will the dumbell eyes make this swim hook side up? Haven't fished it yet, but will this weekend. Thanks!
Tate, on this fly the because of the mass on the top it is almost impossible to get the fly to ride upside down regardless of which side you put the eyes but on smaller sizes the fly will ride opposite side up of the eyes, so if the eyes are on the bottom of the hook the hook point till ride down. thanks for watching, Kelly
@@TheSlideinn Makes sense- thanks I appreciate it!
Could maybe do a Kokanee pattern for bull trout!
I really like streamers that have whatever materials that simulate eyes, scales and lateral line. We have lots of fathead minnows here in the West and I’d like to find a good streamer imitation.
gaaf maar wat voor lijn en of hengel ?
Love the "offends me " comment
I fancy this pattern cause it’s without rabbit or squirrel zonkerstrips.
Just went to order but he is out of the trailer hook....darn.
Am I wrong or is the eye of the hooks turned to be straight instead of flat ? Always live the videos. See when you visit the Ozarks.
John you are correctsir 7052 vertical ring eye, makes attaching that back hook a breeze. See you this winter. Thanks for watching. KG
Do you think the semperfly predator fibre could be used as sub???
Looks to be "similar" but is ofcourse synthetic and should shead water during casting.
Absolutely, let me know how it goes. KG
@@kellygalloup will do.
What, please, is the little gadget (silver with a red knob) that you look as if you are going to catch your right arm on. Is it a comb of some sort?
He usually has a comb or brush mounted there for cleaning hair
I found one of a pattern similar stuck in tree branches near a great rainbow run years ago. Thing looked like a small critter dropping😁 Never did fish it and I hung it in a buddies truck visor for luck. I treat unfortunate fly donations like good luck charms. How fitting that my fly to send is a sculpin as well. I just keep for show in box and never fish em...
was this fly inspired by Don Imus
Kelly when you say you fish it unweighted do you normally tie your own without the lead eyes?
Eric
I always put the eyes on them regardless of size, I like the target idea and additional stabilization. Sometimes on the bigger ones I will add 25 turns of .025 lead to the front hook to help sink it but for the most part I don't think it does enough to sink the fly to out weight the extra weight of casting it so I tend to fish them unweighted. That goes for most flies I tie actually, I feel like weighting flies never really helps much in the whole sinking aspect (that's why I use sinking lines) but it does make the fly harder to roll over and cast accurately and I also think weighted flies tend to be less lively in the water. KG
Where on Torch would you toss this pattern? Elk?
Try the wet part, next to the land part.
What are you rubbing the wool on
Marc, it's a regular nylon comb used to break up the fibers
Is this bug now called the bush pilot?
Yes
Don't grow in your hands,I got it...lol...
Similar to a Shenks White Minnow in silhouette and construction while being different at the same time.
One of the best things about many of Kelly's tutorials, is that he provides the background about these flies. Pointing towards a specific kind of sub-category of freshwater or saltwater fly fishing using streamers. And explaining how the lineage of some of these fly tying creation works. I had a look at that Shenks White Minnow pattern just now for example. And I am also wondering if that pattern could be another one of those 'origin' type patterns, from which a lot of other modifications and customization happened? Kelly is just one of those who will be the first to admit, that where he has created a fly pattern, that has served as a basis from which many other patterns have evolved. He'll often acknowledge it, and explain that is what happens. People take what you've done and carry it another step, or half step beyond. And it ends up doing something you'd never thought of. Similarly, Kelly will also acknowledge patterns going back a long, long time that served as a basis around which he had experimented. And had taken a bit further.
The real thing that I see, when I look at the Shenks White Minnow pattern. That combination of the marabou tail and sculptured or layered white wool on the hook. What I can see from looking at the Shenks White Minnow, is the original from which a lot of saltwater patterns emerged. The kinds of patterns that fly tyers used to try and suggest small salt water crab life in the tidal areas. I don't know exactly which cart came before which horse in that case. But I always thought those salt water crab patterns were interesting in their own sense. A different approach to how to combine the advantages of wool material and marabou material together on the same fly pattern. Of course, being completely untutored in the range of freshwater streamer patterns and minnow fly patterns out there. I had never seen that White Minnow pattern ever before. I have a hunch though, the White Minnow came before the saltwater crab?
Academic Mailbox the Shenks Minnow uses a dubbing loop with rabbit fur or can be made by spinning sculpin wool. It’s a killer. Not sure if the saltwater patterns are tied in a similar manner. Fly Fish Food has a sculpin whose head is tied like a crab pattern using multiple tufts of wool or substitute.
@@gnolmit Okay, rather than layered wool, it is a dubbing loop using wool (or rabbits fur for smaller sizes I'd imagine), or some combination of those wound on the hook shank). That is interesting. I know rabbit fur as a material too, because I use a good deal of hare's ear. And what we tend to do with that, is use a small food mixer to 'blend' together various percentages of rabbit with hairs ear and other blends put in there. It is very satisfying to be able to make up one's own blends in that way. Many tyers I know, shy away from using hundred percent pure mixes of anything. Especially with so many good synthetics and microfibre products available to blend in. And that's the one great advantage of dubbing loops as a technique. That ability to customize and apply it very quickly. Having looked at how much 'bulk' and volume they get out of the wool before sculpture-ing it, in the White Minnow pattern, I'd just assumed it was a layered wool technique too.
I am thinking about this too, and while I've had mohair of various shades for decades that I've never done anything with. I'm wondering now why 'A' I've no ever put those long woolen strands into a dubbing loop. Or 'B' why I never made flies using layering either. There are a lot of similar or close enough materials we use in salmon swung fly patterns, that are an approximation to 'wool' material on wings. And in the salmon patterns, we will 'layer' multiple kinds of wool and wing material together. So the actual wing construction can get to be quite a build-up. For some reason however, I've never taken out my packets of mohair and done very much with them. Especially, since they are a natural material too.
Seems like it was a game changer look before Blane took it and ran with it....
Does Johnny have a page?
the bearded clam fishes better than the nappy sculpin..
Interesting. I'll be tying a few because I can't help myself but I don't think 90% of sculpins look much like a sculpin. The body looks great, head looks cool- but no real pectorals.
Don’t get obsessed with the details.... it’s all about profile and swim pattern. Some of the most realistic sculpin patterns we have seen don’t fish worth a damn because they trade microscopic details for how the fly actually reacts in the current.
@@TheSlideinn thanks guys.
@@Podobed Kelly’s zoo Cougar is a killer pattern w pectorals but it’s more about the profile simulation.
I agree with Biden-

Skip the first 20 minutes... you're welcome.
Sexy business right there! Great pattern!
Thanks for doing these videos
too much meaningless talk no action
