Materials List: Scud
Tying Method: Scud 1. Slide appropriate sizes Tungsten bead onto the shank and up to the eye. Wrap a base of thread to near the center of the bend of the hook.
 2. Tie in a piece of copper wire.
 3. Tie in a piece of clear scud back, (your choice). The size you use depends on the size of the scud you are tying.
 4a. Form a dubbing loop and wax your thread.
 4b. Apply your dubbing and spin the dubbing loop. Wrap dubbing around hook shank to head. Bulk up the dubbing in the center to form a hump.
 5. Tease the dubbing to form the legs of the scud.
 6. Fold over the scud back and secure at the head.
 7. Wrap the copper wire around the body. As you wrap, use your bodkin to separate the dubbing for the copper wire so that you do not trap the dubbing on top of the scud back. Secure the wire at the head and whip finish. A light coating of Hard as Nails will help to make the fly more durable. You are finished.
