Our Nutria Sculpin Munkers are designed and tied by Alex Belonga. Alex lives and fishes in the Great Lakes region and the Nutria Sculpin Munker is designed for this fishery. The idea of designing a Munker style like this was born out of the observation of a great guide and friend of mine in Canada. A huge majority of Great Lakes steelhead and Atlantic salmon (and pretty much all species save our Great Lakes Chinook) is river baitfish like sculpins & darters, and other things like crayfish. These forage species are nicely imitated with this Munker design. Nutria Sculpin Munkers seem to work well on a wide variety of species for us year round, and especially in the winter months when other patterns won’t make them move. (We are fishing 33-34deg water in the winter!)
