Description

Since scuds are usually more curved and sowbugs are more flat, this is a better sowbug imitation. But you can still fish it as a scud any day of the week. That's the beautiful thing about impressionistic flies; we get it close and let the fish decide.

Field Notes

This is a fly pattern designed as a better sowbug imitation, but it can also be fished as a scud. It is best used when trout are feeding on small crustaceans in slow, technical water where a subtle, impressionistic presentation matters.

Pros

  • Imitates sowbugs and scuds well
  • Impressionistic profile can trigger selective fish
  • Sold in a dozen for stocking a fly box

Cons

  • Not a general-purpose attractor fly
  • May be less effective when fish are keyed on larger insects
