How to tie it
Test-fit the Mini Sculpin Helmet on the hook first, then start thread at the bend. The helmet goes on last and needs a bare hook eye.
At the bend tie in a generous clump of arctic fox tail fur one and a half shank lengths long for the tail and antennae, with four strands of Krystal Flash over it. Arctic fox is the point of the fly. It pulses even when the fly sits still.
X-wrap 2-3 silicone legs at the bend so they splay alongside the tail.
Dub or wrap arctic fox fur forward up the shank in touching turns, picking it out as you go for a shaggy, translucent body. Stop with a small bare gap behind the hook eye.
Build a small thread dam, whip finish, then coat the front wraps with glue and push the Mini Sculpin Helmet over the eye, flat side up so the fly rides hook point up.
Press a Living Eye into the recess on each side of the helmet and secure with a drop of UV resin.
