The fly, unbalanced by the strip of lead along the top of the hook shank, flips over when it isn't being retrieved. This is one of the few patterns that will make trout that are "grazing" on zooplankton strike an artificial?the sudden roll of the fly triggers a reaction. It is an indispensable pattern on rich lakes with populations of real scuds. It is a valuable searching fly even on infertile lakes, where trout never saw a scud but still respond to the rolling action of the fly. Olive and orange are the best colors for the Rollover Scud.

I read about this somewhere in detail , but I found the reciepe here on FAOL
It is in LaFontaine's "Fly Fishing the Mountain Lakes" and is used as the primary fly for fishing a certain lake in the Crazy Mountains of MT. Can also be found here:
