Favorite Dubbing For Scuds?

[Danoinark]

Now, here's the secret: light a candle and slowly move the finished fly close to the flame, back first. The result is the herl on the scud's back will burn away, leaving a nice looking segmented back. I hold the fly in my fingers to protect the herl on the bottom of the fly from burning.

Note: Do the last step slowly, or you'll wind up with little black bumps on the back of your scuds from trying to burn it too fast.

That, my friends, will make one killer scud.

Excellent tip. I intend to try that.
