Does anyone ahve a link to the pattern for and possibly a picture of the Carter's Sculpin. I haven't had much luck with searches for it.

Larry,
If it's called "SEM Sculpin" by Carter Nelson, it is here; www.warmwaterflytyer.com under Bottom Flies & Jigs.
I found an interesting Sculpin Fly here called the EP Fly;http://voodamosca.blogspot.com/2007/...mples-mas.html It is a foreign site (Danish?). Scroll Down and the EP is under the Hair Bug.

I can attest to the effectivenss of this pattern. I have been using it ever since Carter Nelson showed it to me about 6-7 years ago. It has become one of my two top producing flies, especially for large bream and crappie with some nice bass mixed in. I would imagine that I've caught well in excess of 1000 fish with this one pattern. I tie in mainly in black with a grizzled or olive green collar. Great pattern

Doug:
That is the one. Guess I didn't have the SEM part. Thanks. I was a little disappointed however that you didn't include any smilies. Love your smilies and humor every time I see it. Makes my day.

Doug:
Have you seen an English pattern for the EP anywhere. I assume that it is called EP because it is spun EP fibers. What do you think?

Larry,
I will search for an English EP Bug. I have never seen the EP before yesterday, and I would like to see a tutorial on it.
The EP Bug is tied with EP fibers.

More EP Bugs;http://www.flytyingforum.com/index.p...e=post&id=7854 The guy that tied these said he stacks the fibers and he tied on an extended body also.

First of all Doug, I would like to thank you for providing a link to warmwaterflytyer.com. I never knew about it, and I live where practically everything is warmwater! And also, the second site is definitely not Danish. It seems to be similar to Spanish, so it could be Portuguese or maybe some Spanish-like language in South America. Either way, it doesn't really matter! Just like to say thanks.

nen-bran,
I looked at the language and later thought Spanish, but didn't edit it.
I hope your doing good!
I wanted to ask you a question! What do you think of the New Mexico Travel commercials?
