Spanish fork sculpin

[gufero]

Hi folks just wondering if anyone could help out. I caught a brown and it had a little sculpin in it. I did not know there were sculpin in the spanish fork river. I know there was one in UL but its been extinct since the 20s. Does anyone know what his sculpin could be? Is it common? Thanks

It's a mottled sculpin, and yes, they're everywhere. My daughter caught one in Diamond Fork and we freaked out thinking it was some sort of exotic invasive species, but the wildlife folks told us that's what they are and they're a very common forage fish in these mountain streams. http://dwrcdc.nr.utah.gov/rsgis2/search/...m=cottbair

Anyway we had the same experience [] Hope this helps!

Put on a Muddler Minnow fly and fish it near bottom. This is the fly created to imitate the sculpin which is a favorite prey for larger trout.
