Dave Whitlock's Near Nuff Sculpin is a quick and fun fly to tie and a very effective sculpin pattern. In this video I show you how he ties this fly and some interesting techniques that can be applied to many other fly patterns. Popular colors for this pattern are Olive, Golden Brown and Gray. You mostly want to try to match the bottom of the stream where this fish live. However, you can experiment and maybe come up with something a little different that also catches fish. - Enjoy
