Beadhead Scud
CA$3.25
A must-have when trout are cruising slow water or hugging the bottom for an easy meal. Designed to imitate the freshwater shrimp, that make up a huge part of a trout's diet, this fly brings consistent results in lakes, rivers, and spring creeks alike. The weighted bead helps it get down quickly and stay in the strike zone, making it ideal for under an indicator or tightline nymphing setups.
Tied with a Tungsten Bead.
Best for: Stillwaters, tailwaters, and slow-moving runs
How to fish it: Drift it low and slow near the bottom, or suspend it just off the weed beds under an indicator.
Why we like it: Simple, effective, and deadly year-round - the Beadhead Scud consistently fools even the pickiest trout.
