admin Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Ram's wool is a good material for the head. This isn't the best pattern, but it should give you some direction - http://www.onlineflytyer.com/article_n2sculpin.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverDoctor Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Haven't had much luck with patterns along this line had more luck with the other streamer patterns. Might make a good one for bull trout if that's what you're thinking. Wool is easier to build a head with than deer hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't the best pattern, but it should give you some direction - http://www.onlineflytyer.com/article_n2sculpin.asp i've seen a similar pattern to that tied with non-leaddumbell eyes within the wool head. makes for good weight in the fly and it even looks like eye balls.

mwalters Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Ram's wool is a good material for the head. Thanks for the tip, I might have to tie some of these now. I was wondering what I could do with the ram's wool I collected off a branch while hiking into Twin Falls last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
