Field Notes

Use this tungsten scud as a lead fly in two-fly nymph rigs to get your presentation down quickly. Cast and allow it to sink to the bottom, then maintain contact with the line while drifting or lightly twitching to imitate a scud.

Pros

  • Tungsten weight gets down quickly
  • Works well as a lead fly in two-fly nymph setups
  • Attractor/scud profile for bottom-oriented feeding fish

Cons

  • Best results require proper bottom contact and drift control
