Learn how to tie a Kamikaze Sculpin Fly.
Gobies are a type of baitfish made up of a variety of different species and live in freshwater systems. Similar to sculpins, these baitfish tend to hug the bottom of creeks, streams, rivers, and lakes and they provide excellent forage for anything from smallmouth bass to trout and even oddball species like catfish and crappie. These baitfish are generally in the 2”-5” range with a round profile, making them excellent forage for fish of nearly all sizes.
Originally designed to imitate hellgramite larva, this fly was used to catch smallmouth bass in Pennsylvania’s large rivers. However, since it was created in 1967, the Wooly Bugger has caught many different species in fresh and saltwater. The Wooly Bugger is a fly that you can tie in almost any color or color scheme that you can drum up, and whether you’re after bass, trout, pike, or even snook, this fly always seems to produce.
