Just a mid month reminder. If anyone needs me to take the picture of their fly you should be sending them soon.

Ok, here is my submission, its nothing ground breaking, just a variation on one of my favorite patterns. At the start of this this I wanted to do something off the wall but these materials just scream streamer to me, and I don't have enough extra time right now to tie something I'm not sure will catch fish, this pattern definitely will. The pattern is a woolly sculpin with a twist. The main difference from other woolly sculpins I have seen and tied previously is the light colored ice dub body, with the dark back, which creates a nice contrast, and is similar to the real deal as all sculpins have a light belly.

Here is the recipe:

Tail: Olive Marabou
Ribbing: Ultra wire (used copper brown here) over Ginger Saddle hackle
Body: Ice Dub UV Lt. Yellow
Back: Olive Marabou (tied in towards tip so that it is easier to separate tailing and back material)
Collar and head: Dark Olive Deer Hair.

Looks good Sabo. Everyone should just post them here and I will move them to another thread with a poll, maybe few threads if enough people enter,

Thanks Rubberlips for bumping this baby up, I'm definitely in. I'm feelin' creative already. Anyone ever tried to weave marabou, jk

Here's mine...black marabou tail with a little flash. Olive Ice Dub picked out with olive hackle. Deer hair wing with a peice of black pheasant tail tied in on top. Nothing fancy but I like it.
