Here's what happens when I get bored and have a new toy to play with... this thing is about 3" long and weighs a good amount. Pic doesnt get all the color in there, there are 3 colors of wool in the head that give it a striped/speckled look. I used olive variant rabbit and some creative license with a sharpie. Now I just need to go fish it...

Nice job!! While I'm sure that a largemouth bass or large rainbow might find it attractive, it would be deadly for northern pike or for stripers. Of course, rockfish, ling cod, or even a nearshore king salmon hiding off the kelp forest would likely ambush it too.

KICK ASS. I love the originality. Beautiful color sceme. I think that it will catch fish in the Sound for sure. Only one way to find out.....
Y'all got it wired out there when it comes to tying.....amazing! Thanx...chuck

Not yet. I only had my 4 weight with me over spring break back in Yakima, and didn't relish the thought of casting sculpin patterns all day...

Is it weighted at all??

Yup. Not too much, I think I put maybe 15 wraps of .030 Lead on there... If I remember right... Not as heavy as some I have seen in the stores that weigh about 8 ounces it seems...

That thing must feel like a kitten tied on to the end of your leader.....must come from the "chuck and duck" school of flycasting.
That's a bad ass looking fly.....someday...someday I'll get the tube "bug"..
