Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted November 14, 2015 Author Root Admin Posted November 14, 2015 You wonder why we used UV dubbing... the sunlight glimmers off the shells. I bet it catches the eye of a trout pretty quick! Think? BilletHead 1
Fish24/7 Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 now is this a common sighting and typical behavior for scuds? trout must love those little morsels! i usually make 2 trips a year to Taneycomo, never knew much about them, first time seeing some
Quillback Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 All you can eat shrimp buffet for the trout.
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted November 14, 2015 Author Root Admin Posted November 14, 2015 Taney, since the early 80's, has seen fewer scuds in the lake. They've come and gone - why? I don't think anyone knows. Some say pollution, some say silting, some said stocking too many trout (back in the 80's and 90's)... everybody has an opinion. But since our water is in the mid 60's these bugs have exploded.
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted November 14, 2015 Author Root Admin Posted November 14, 2015 I traveled to Tulsa Thursday and spoke to the TU/FFF chapter there that evening. I showed the video - the last part of this video. I shot it in bright sunlight Thursday morning before I left. Two things: The glimmer off the shells - you would think that would catch the eye of a trout, right? So shouldn't you tie/buy scuds with UV dubbing and/or some kind of tinsel in the body? Hook style - guys at the meeting were asking why are we tying most scuds on a curved hook... why not a straight hook? Rolan Duffield has tied his scuds on a 3769 TMC hook since the 60's... he got it right. Any other thoughts? Action: Shouldn't you work a scud more? Even swim a scud?
Members fishin_addict Posted November 15, 2015 Members Posted November 15, 2015 That's amazing! I know those were shallows, but have you seen the trout coming in to feast on this explosion of scuds?
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted November 15, 2015 Author Root Admin Posted November 15, 2015 Not along our bank but they feed that way up in the trophy area all the time.
