Silvey's Balanced Sculpin

Silvey's Balanced Sculpin, designed by Brian Silvey on Oregon's Deschutes River, was created to mimic the natural gliding action of sculpins, making it particularly effective when swung across river currents. The fly's balanced design ensures it remains level during retrieval, closely resembling the movement of real sculpins.

For an unconventional approach, try fishing the Balanced Sculpin under an indicator in deep pools; the fly's level posture can entice strikes from trout lurking near the bottom.
