Fishing Report

[ozark trout fisher]

would any of you consider sculpin patterns the best way to take browns on the current. I allways see lots of them down there.

I have done well with conehead muddlers for browns on the Current-most of the browns that I have caught there of considerably above average size(18+") have come on that. That's a fair imitation of a sculpin and I guess that is what they take it for.

That said, I am not really the guy to ask about big streamers and big browns. When I talk about 18"+ fish I've caught on the Current, that number is well in the single digits and I fish there rather often. I am 95% a small nymph and dry fly guy. I need to buy a sink-tip line and then maybe I can get in the streamer game for real. Then again maybe not- I love fishing the caddis hatches on that river.
