I love spring fishing! Thanks for putting them back from time to time, gives the rest of us a chance at em. Keep up the good work, on and off the water.
Pretty sure your right, Slimy and Mottled are the two main Sculpin specie. I just noted the color of this particular one as I was fishing streamers that truley might represent these creatures. Bugs are coming, hoping I get a chance at some time with them, a bit windy this day and with nothing rising I stuck to streamers.

Thanks Jason, some beautiful fish out there. I’m working hard to contribute to our resource so I can feel good about my use of it. Take care.
Sweet photos. Slimy and mottled are the sculpin I’ve heard of… Is there a third specie?
Love those bug shots.

The third species is the Deepwater Sculpin
(Myoxocephalus thompsoni)
