Scud flies

UV-resin, epoxy and LCR's

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.

This Straggle Leg material is an absolute dream to work with! Longer, more sparsely woven fibers than Straggle String, lifelike appearance and movement, and it is available in a full array of colors to match the insects in your local waters.

Go ahead and give it a tie! The fish go crazy for this stillwater staple pattern. Thanks for watching!

Long story longer

But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
