Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted October 10 Root Admin Share Posted October 10 I found a small fly box yesterday with a few of Rolan's scuds in it. Scuds that he tied. I'd forgotten how different they are from any scud we tie or have tied. It was a #12 tied on a 3769 TMC hook, straight back. He ties all his scuds on this style hook. I added it to a #16 black zebra yesterday on One Cast. Bright sun but chopped surface. Fish were actively moving and feeding. I fished it off the bottom suspended, like Rolan does most of the time. They bit it really well. I'm going to have to show this to some of my tyers and have them duplicate it. Sparse and prickly is a good description.

I like mine really buggy as well and sparse equals better hook up ratio dpitt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank You Tom Ciolino Originally it was hair from his dog “peppy” I think. I’m sure @Phil Lilleywill chime in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted November 19 Author Root Admin Share Posted November 19 Gray Shih Tzu dog - Peppy. It was Rolan's dog. He cuts the hair to 1/2 inch pieces and mixes it with gray antron and ??? another dubbing. I've asked Rolan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
