Enter Flymen fishing company and their Scuplin Helmet. As fly tiers we love our beads. Flymen Fish Co has taken this love to the next level with a wide assortment of lifelike beads and helmets. The Sculpin helmet is one of my favorites from them as it takes a simple pattern and makes it super lifelike. This variation uses some of our favorite materials to create one solid scuplin pattern. Trout, Bass, Pike whatever. This fly will hook them all!
Join us every week for Fly Tying Tuesday as we take on a new pattern! Subscribe to our YouTube channel to see it first, and for all our other product, how-to, and fly fishing and outdoor videos.
