The Crispy Critter is an entirely new take on the articulated sculpin. It is virtually unweighted so it should be fished either on a sink tip or with a split shot on the leader (or both.) The spun deerhair makes a commotion under water and the synthetic dubbed body breaks up its profile. A very fishy little pattern.

Fish Skull Zonkers are a beautifully tied update of the classic baitfish pattern. The Ice Queen version has a nice flashy belly and a white wing/tail that make it stand out in murky water. What really makes this fly pop though is the red throat. Whether the fish thinks the red is a flash of the gills or bleeding bait, who knows? What we do know is that trout devour this color combination, especially when fished in stillwater, slow moving streams or in the estuaries. The keel weighted Fish Skull Head gives this fly a lot of motion when stripped.

Brett's Klamath Intruder from Aqua Flies is perfect when you want a small offering that still pops in the water. The Blue Black version is a top steelhead color and also will get big grabs from spring rainbow trout. Brett's Klamath Intruder is a mere 1 3/4" in length. It is tied on a tiny 15mm shank and has an Octopus #4 hook. If the hook gets damaged you can swap it out for a new one. It has tiny lead eyes so you will want to fish it with a sink tip line or a bit of weight to get it down.

The Conehead Autumn Splendor is another big rainbow magnet. It is top flight searching fly that is money in deep runs and around root wads. Strip or swing this fly and hang on.
