This is the time of year I’ll fish dead scud patterns–probably often taken as eggs, but it makes me feel more righteous. 🙂
I seem to remember there was a bighorn scud thread some time back. This is based on that style or what some call a humpback scud. So here’s the completed pattern and the underlying construction using a snippet of Larva Lace’s LED lashed onto the shank.
Would enjoy seeing some other styles.
I looked at your website and could not find it, the recipe I mean.
I too would like a step by step guide.I tied up some scuds to go to Hawaii this past summer, and was able to fish a small creek but the trout streams were blown the day I could go.
If I remember right, patterns like this use lead punched with a spent rifle cartridge of some sort, to cut the half moon type shape for the back.
Hey Scott,
Would you mind doing a step by step picture sequence?OK, guys. I’ll do a tutorial. I’ve been updating my fly pattern pages anyway. I’ll post a link here when I get it done.
clever way to put the arch in the scud
never been a fan of fishing scuds, and thus, never really tied them.
no pics from meYeah, Mike’s is the one I remember from a while back. That’s an easy way to mass produce, Mike.
Here is the tutorial. Enjoy.
