Had some clients that wanted to try for bigger fish this morning so I put them on the sculpin signature series. They landed a dozen or so bows, hooked up and lost 4 big browns and landed one brown at 23.5 inches.

duane I would really like to send you about a half dozen crankbaits and have you paint them in the sculpin color.......sculpin live on the bottom, under the rocks just like a crawdad. They bite crankbaits drifting in the current so they should hammer a scuplin colored crankbait digging along the bottom like your fat free shads right?
Travis,
im having a hard time finding the time to paint them for me. I have 6 half way painted for over a week now.

Sounds like a plan joeD. I would be happy to show you Lake Taneycomo. I’m booked pretty solid through October, so it would have to be after that. Just let me know when you would like to go.

Low pressure stippling, stencils, and shading were fun techniques to learn on this one. Will be fished this week.

Yes. Just got to have enough weight above it to get it on the bottom

6 and 8 mm beads are pegged on your line 1 1/2 inches above a size 6 octopus hook and drifted under an indicator or polish nymph style while fly fishing. They can be fished on a drift rig system while boat fishing with the water running. I have found the yellow colored ones work the best for browns. I also paint or highlight them with different fingernail polishes. TroutBeads.com carries quite the selection if Phil does not have what you are looking for, although I gave him a pretty big assortment that I had left over from guiding with them in Alaska.

Ok. Here’s the first of the sculpin series. They are much more difficult and time consuming than the rainbow. Pretty happy with the look though.

I see this one swimming around every now and then. It’s 36-38 inches long and I’m pretty sure breaking the 30 pound mark.

Maybe a shot of Blue on the chin! Man can't wait to see your pattern on a lure buddy.
And hey you got a Rainbow and a stinking bass in that picture post above... Immediate disqualification of your claims on actually catching brown trout!
Wanted to see if joeD looked at pictures like he reads

Think I’m about to run with this one

I know a guy that may have some reference photos that you can compare to for color schemes!
I don't have them on my phone.
I would like that.

Yeah, whatever. I was certainly put in my place. Gosh, my embarrassment knows no bounds.

JoeD,
Heres a few pictures of browns from a guy that doesn’t fish enough posted for a guy that doesn’t read enough.

I’ve got some 3 inch blanks that run 4-5 feet deep and suspend.

Moving on to a sculpin flavored bait, I have been working on some new techniques with the air brush and trying to get color schemes down. That’s not easy being red/green color blind to an extent. Been practicing on plastic spoons and I’m up to my 6th attempt. Getting closer but not quite there yet.

Been looking at them. Let us know how you like it.
