Fred Telleen’s ‘Twisted Sculpin’

Our pal and legendary Alaskan fishing guide, Fred Telleen, just put together a great video for North 40 Fly Shop on how to tie his ‘Twisted Sculpin,’ a deadly pattern originally developed for big Alaska rainbows.

It’s no secret we love tossing sculpins for our resident rainbow trout, and you can be sure we’ll have a few Twisted Sculpins in our box this summer. Check out how to tie it below!

Note: If you’re viewing this in a newsletter or a reader, click here to see the video on YouTube.

Fred himself will also be joining us for a week of king fishing at Alaska West this summer. We have a feeling he might chuck a few Twisted Sculpins to our leopard rainbows as well. If interested in joining him, check out the details right here.

    Mr Fred!!! One question… Can I come with you? I promise not to drop my spool in the water again or snap my rod on a bottom hookup! You know where to find me, just let me know my friend! 🙂
