The fly is quite sturdy so it shouldn't be an issue with the abuse it'll receive. I think you’re right, just alter the colors to suit the local sculpin population.

I bit thicker tail and you have a very good sculpin imitation here. Not only is the head tadpole shaped it has the perfect look of a sculpin’s head profile too.

I was going to save you some dark meat, but I ain't so sure now.. Not much to the natural, a bulbous head and a lot of tail flutter - I'm looking at something similar for the tail, may try something like "cocking" the tail at an angle to get more movement. Have to be careful not to alter the attitude of the fly however. …”after Thanksgiving?” – you’re going to keep me in suspense until then?
