Scud flies

In today's fly tying video, I showcase Semperfli's Straggle Legs and use a variety of techniques to create an irresistable imitative Pregnant Scud pattern.

Here we will be tying the fly Kobberbassen originally from Denmark but has spread around a lot the last years and become a very successful pattern for seatrout mostly.

Materials Used;

Probably one of the best flies out there ... Even though this fly looks very small and not very shiny and lifelike, it’s a good fly.

Alternative to a dubbed Scud or Gammarus pattern, which could also cover small freshwater shrimp. Colour the body to your choice. Sizes 12-16.

Materials Used;

Another great Pattern, works really well all year round.

Gammarus or scuds are proberbly one of the most important prey for trout and graylings, so allways have some in the box.

Scud in both saltwater and freshwater is an important pattern to have in the box. It is a rich food-source, and the flyfisher and tyer knows it often can do the trick.

Walt Young's hares ear pattern, that is one of the simplest but most popular competition jigs. Although an easy tie, there are a few nice techniques in this pattern that are worth learning.

UV-resin has become super-popular and can really create some amazing flies - and espicially flies like this White & Blue Scud looks like a million. In this video we have had mr.

Scuds are common in rivers and a much loved food by fish. Year-round fly tied on hooks 10 - 18.

A great looking shrimp that looks complicated but is really easy. With lots of internal structure, just like a natural shrimp, this one looks complicated to tie. It’s not.

Tying a great shrimp/scud pattern for autumn and winter.. A simple but very effective pattern tied using a Get-Slotted jig off glass bead, dubbing and a strip of organza ribbon.

In this tutorial, we tie a simple easy to tie, Pro Gammarus fly or Scud for use in the cold period of the year.

A nice juicy snack for autumn and winter grayling. A quick and simple pattern tied with just nymph skin and pink organza this works well on a dropper above a tungsten bug.

This is a very Successful Pattern in the Winter
