They got big hunting on the river bottom, ambushing Sculpin, Darters, Mad Toms, and Stone Cats. If you want a shot at these above average fish, you need a fly that fishes down where they feed and imitates the baits they are eating.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 10.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #222222;\"\u003eThe NearNuff Sculpin has fooled more than 28 species for me, most notably, Trout, Bass, Walleye, Pike, Permit, and Bonefish. Big Trout and Smallmouth Bass both hunt for big meals the same way, on the river bottom, which makes it a deadly crossover fly to have in your box. In fact, my largest Driftless Area Brown Trout ate this fly.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 10.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #222222;\"\u003eIn this hands-on class Allen will teach you how Dave wanted this fly tied, not some watered-down version that falls apart after three fish. He will also teach you how to fish this pattern with a floating line, a sink-tip line, and a full-sinking line. You'll be able to take this pattern and catch fish in shallow riffles, deep swift runs, and grassy flats. How much more versatile can one fly be?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 10.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #222222;\"\u003eEvery tyer takes home a bottle of Zap-A-Gap, a one-year Trout Unlimited membership or a one-year extension, and a NearNuff Sculpin tied by Allen to Dave's exacting standards, so you have a showpiece example to replicate at your own bench. That's more than $50 in value on top of two hours of instruction.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eDate\/Time: \u003c\/b\u003eSunday, October 3rd 2026 3pm - 5pm\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eHost: \u003c\/b\u003eAllen Rupp\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eLevel: \u003c\/b\u003eIntermediate and above \u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Aptos',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Aptos; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;\"\u003eCost: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Aptos',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Aptos; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;\"\u003e$150\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Aptos',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Aptos; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClass Size: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Aptos',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Aptos; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;\"\u003e12 students\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLocation: \u003c\/strong\u003eTCO State College - 2030 East College Ave. State College, PA 16801\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TCO Fly Shop","offers":[{"title":"Saturday October 3rd 3pm - 5pm","offer_id":47340485345449,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1017\/0133\/files\/Dave_sNearnuffCrayfishSC.png?v=1787336561","url":"https:\/\/www.tcoflyfishing.com\/products\/tco-fly-tying-class-daves-nearnuff-sculpin-school-with-allen-rupp-dave-whitlocks-designated-legacy-tyer-copy","provider":"TCO Fly Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
