Bizarro-world craft store scud

[tageater]

I've been one that uses craft store "substitutes"- but in the end I think the fly shop sells enough crap that doesn't catch fish, and if it does, it's 2x the price of craft store stuff.

I tie a similar "scud" in size 10 with a palmered hackle---i use a similiar backing. I continue to tie this pattern after 5 years. It works, as yours does.

Good looking flies!
