SCUD TAN B.H. SIZE 10

Description

Scud Tan B.H. Size 10 – a natural, fast-sinking scud imitation for tailwaters and spring creeks

The Scud Tan B.H. Size 10 is a classic scud pattern tied in a natural tan tone, designed to imitate freshwater scuds and sow bugs that trout feed on year-round. With a bead head for added weight, this fly sinks quickly and holds its drift in productive feeding lanes. Its realistic profile and natural coloration make it an especially deadly choice in clear water and nutrient-rich tailwaters.

Design / Features

The Scud Tan B.H. Size 10 features a soft, translucent tan body with fine ribbing for segmentation, tied on a curved scud hook to mimic a natural drifting scud. A gold or silver bead head gives the fly extra weight, helping it reach depth fast and stay in the zone longer. This simple yet durable construction creates a lifelike look and subtle movement in the water, triggering aggressive takes.

When & Where to Use

The Scud Tan B.H. Size 10 performs best in tailwaters, spring creeks, and slow-moving freestones, especially in cold-water conditions when scuds are active. Fish it under an indicator, in a Euro-nymphing rig, or as a dropper fly. The fishing flies’ natural tone makes them a reliable producer in both clear and slightly off-colored water.
