This fly was designed to imitate the chubs and other small baitfish that we have on our local streams/rivers.  I have tied in it three color combinations:  1)  brown to imitate the color of chubs and sculpins, 2)  olive to imitate sculpins and other small baitfish, 3) silver to imitate baitfish.  I like the action that the sculpin heads create in the fly, giving them a nice rising and diving action during the retrieve.  I have had success catching multiple species with this fly including trout, bass and panfish
