What color scuds are you throwing up there? I have been considering tying some up and giving them a go on the water..........haven't caught a fish on a scud pattern, yet.

I can't take credit for the pattern, Rich Osthoff wrote a fantastic book of fishing alpine lakes in the Rocky Mountains - highly recommend it: [url "http://www.amazon.com/dp/0811727661/ref=asc_df_08117276612650190?smid=A1SSUO20DOKMFO&tag=dealtmp814657-20&linkCode=asn&creative=395105&creativeASIN=0811727661"]http://www.amazon.com/...ativeASIN=0811727661[/url]
Anyway, his go-to pattern out of the gate is his Fast Sinking Scud:
--hook: size 14 nymph hook (1X heavy, 2X long)
--thread: olive UTC 70
--tail: stripped fibers from a partridge feather
--shellback: clear plastic shell back material
--ribbing: clear monofilament
--body: smoky olive Sow Scud (wrapped 3 times, and fibers brushed out to the sides)[/quote]That book is awesome. He's caught some incredible golden trout.
