A Game Changer style sculpin for those who want a fun fly to tie, but an even funnier fly to fish. The erratic movement of micro sized Game Changer’s can turn any salmonoid into an aggressive predator and strike as hard as a pike, so a slightly thicker tippet than usual is recommended when fishing with these. I mainly use them for fishing rivers after rainbows and trout, but they have proven to be effective on the coast as well. Give these a try, you won’t be disappointed!
