The Mulpin
The plan was to design a fly pattern that would be compatible with the rivers in the Missoula, Montana area that seem to have plenty of sculpin. So after tying the Sculpzilla fly pattern and Johnson’s Creek Leech fly pattern, my concept evolved to the Mulpin fly pattern.
I thought the fly pattern should be called the Missoula Sculpin, but after fly fishing with my friend, Adam Spenner who is a fly fishing Guide in Missoula, for 30 years, I have learned how he reacts to a new pattern. Last year I showed Adam my creation called the Stone Hopper, and immediately after telling Adam the name, he instantly called the new fly pattern The Stopper. So I knew if I showed this fly pattern to Adam and called it the Missoula Sculpin, he would instantly call this pattern the Mulpin. So, this fly pattern is called the Mulpin
