Rocky Ford Scud

I read a Report on Rocky Ford Creek and this fly pattern was mentioned.

Has anyone dubbed deer hair before??

i have never seen dubbed deer hair before but it looks interesting! I bet you could trim the tips off the hair and put it in a dubbing loop to get it to look like that fly :D

Interesting looking scud pattern. Looks like it would be effective. I read the two articles that were mentioned with the fly pattern. Sounds like, with a little practice, it could be fairly simple. May have to give it a try.

that is a great use for all the trimmings of deer hair bugs, or salmon bugs and bombers.

Go to the article in your link...the bold print words such as dubbing with deer hair,are also links that info...looks and sound easy enough and they show a host of patterns,and give info.
such as that tyer Roman Moser pretty much started dubbing with deer hair...oh yeah, Thanks by the way..Think I just found some new things I want to try too!.

Good one, Doug :)

I wonder if the buoyant nature of the deer hair would flip the pattern on its back. Not that this would be necessarily bad, it might even be good in some instances. Some patterns have been weighted with in mind to cause the effect. Its an interesting application for deer hair. To my eye, however, the deer hair does a poor representation of the scud legs, but then, its the fishes eye that matters. Has anyone had good sucess with this pattern? I myself had had good sucess with the Lee's Ferry Scud that uses deer hair for the shellback. The legs are represented by pulled down dubbing. Apparently, it is favorite on the Colorado in Arizona, but my sucess has been in Montana.

I've seen this fly while surfing around and was intrigued by the use of deer hair for a scud. After thinking about it I concluded that it seemed like a lot of bother to solve a problem I don't think I have.

Has anybody used this fly and found it to be any better than other scud dressings?
