Scuds a good for practicing dubbing, since that's about all they are (plus a rib and an optional back). I think if you went to RR or Taney with the list provided, you'll catch fish. I like a san juan on a 1/80 or 1/00 oz jig head at RR in red. I wrap the shank with the chenille. It's easy to tie, gives good practice and is productive.

Which version do I use? I tried tying up the Charlie Craven version but I suck at dubbing loops, so I just palmered the collar.

I've had good luck with FishUSA. 3 or 4 rods w/ no trouble.

You're a lucky man! My. wife calls flies "ties" instead of "flies."

Too cool. Great report!

Hot Spots for Better Nymphs
-
The latest issue of Fly Tyer has an article on Hot Spot flies with a splash of color like that.
-
Those are awesome!
-
Nice tutorial and good looking fly!! So the UV glue makes the head color?
-
Yes. I've also used them in the creek/rivers with a standup head. I remember reading at article from the Yamamoto newsletter once about 1/2 oz football heads. I don't bass fish much in the winter, so my experience would be spring and summer. But I imagine you've forgotten more about bass fishing than I even know, but it's one of my confidence baits for what it's worth.

I've done well on them. Dragging or hopping them with a big jig head. But I don't know much, especially compared to you.
-
What's the body, btw?
-
Awesome. I'm tying up some beetles. Headed to RR Monday with some co-workers.
-
Oh man. That's rough!
-
Nice! it's fun to fill up a box with something hand crafted. Looking forward to the end results!

Excellent. I'm stocked on eggs. He got into b/c of me, so I feel a responsibility to produce. The problem is that I am a mediocre fly fisherman....
-
Can I ask what you were using? Taking a 1st-timer on 3/14 and would love any tips. Thanks for the report!
-
I got the Brad Pitt formula. It's a little uncomfortable, but I can feel my jaw squaring in the last few weeks. I hope I can cast like his stuntman....

That's our general assumption most of the time, isn't it?
-
Is that SEMO? Congratulations to the Shot family. That's awesome and that field is in demand.

Ron and I fished the mid lake on Bull Shoals on Monday 2/21

Wow! Nice fish -
I think the mill dam has been removed completely. I don't know how passable it is via jet boat. I feel like @Gavin has posted about it in the past?

I don't know of the biology and behavior of the dace. I was just playing off the traditional Black Nose Dace bucktail streamer. I was thinking of something that I could fish in high water at the tailwater, Powersite for whites or deep holes in the spring. I've got lead wire in addition to the cone, so it should sink fairly horizontally. It may not catch fish, but it's a great outlet for my creative energy. You're right in that I could have definitely lived with leaving the hook shank with bare lead.

Just playing around. It's heavily lead-wrapped. I think it's a size 6 aberdeen? Green and white craft fur, red thread for gills. Made a couple with peacock herl bodies and the first was with tinsel. My tinsel was so narrow that I was too impatient to do it again.
