The Scud is a key food source year-round for trout in many waters. With its realistic, segmented body and natural coloration, this fly closely mimics the appearance of these small crustaceans. The Scud is particularly productive in spring creeks, tailwaters, and stillwaters, where these insects are abundant. Its weighted design ensures it sinks quickly, getting down to where fish are feeding near the bottom. The Scud is a must-have for any angler looking to target trout all season.
