Fishin Sculpins on Taney

[BigD]

Evening Folks,

This is the next question I have after inquiring about what sculpin patterns everyone prefers; That is what kind of rig do you fish them on? Weight, line (floating, sink tip, sinking), leader length, etc. I was going to use my 7 wt since I have a new intermediate sinking line and a sink tip line for it on a fairly short leader. What do you think?

BigD...

I have the same thing.. Id say that would work good for sculpins..

Id also suggest maybe getting a 3x leader.. breaking about 3 foot off and add 6lb line ... (this is how I fish my sculpins) Personal preference ...

when I day fishing.. I like to keep my leader/tippet about 7-8 feet.. it make for easier cast..

Although some may disagree.. I find this the most effective for me

Leonard,

Thanks for the reply. I'll do the same as to the leader , that is about what I figured as far as size and yes I prefer to use a shorter leader if possible. I have heard from others in my visits that after generation when the water falls is a good time, especially after dark to use sculpins. Do you agree?

To some degree...

Fishing sculpin at night is alot different... I perfer to sight fish with them during the day..

as far as after the water drops I like to use unweighted streamers..
