I have
tried tying muddlers with heads of McFly Foam and Glo Bug Yarn. Those work fine
too...

-----Ursprungligt meddelande-----His son now also sells a variant with a chenille head (can't for the life of me remember the name...) that sinks like a rock, and will definitely get down to where the sculpins are...muddlers seem to have changed somewhat in application as well as form...

Looked more like a comet.
It's at the top in this photo:

It may be that since the fly was meant to mimic a sculpin, that the
less dense head would allow it to stay closer to the bottom. Hard to
say without confirmation from the originator whether the fly was
intended that way or was just tied crudely, but the fly has definitely
morphed. This has a way of happening over time. Seems his son now
sells dense, neatly trimmed ones like everyone else. Just like the
Gray Ghosts you see sold today - a far cry from Carrie's. Perhaps
because it's now what the market wants. Or thinks they want.... :-)
