Coffey’s Conehead Sparkle Minnow Sculpin

Talk about a popular fly! A conehead version of the sparkle minnow tied on a slightly longer hook than the original. This is a great baitfish pattern to fish year round. Big profile versions with weight are great for the spring runoff season and high water periods after rain. The smaller and lighter versions can be fished in low flowing tailwaters and spring creeks. The darker patterns are killer on overcast days and fish can’t resist the bright ones on sunny days. Grab a few for your smallmouth box as well. River smallies love this pattern in every color combo!
