Okay, I forgot where I put my Hare's Ear Scud pattern recipe

[dixieangler]

I can't find it on Google, Danica, or FAOL. Maybe I missed it. I would rather rely on the recipe to get it right than my memory. Its really the tail material I can't remember. Help .

Pull one out of your fly box and copy it,
or go to the "Master" copy you keep in the safe. You do keep a master copy in the safe?
What if your house burns down?

That fly sounds excellent. I googled and all I could find is that it's in Tom Wendelberg's Book, Catching Big Fish on Light Fly Tackle. Page 154 of the paperback version.

Maybe you have the book and forgot?

MW,

None left in the flybox to copy or I would. Copy of a fly or pattern recipe in the safe? Surely you jest .

Diane,

I can only give what I remember but I'm not sure about the tail.

Hook: #10 or smaller scud hook
Thread: Tan 6/0
Tail and Antenna: Ginger hackle fibers? Can't recall. That's why I need the real recipe.
Rib: Small gold craft wire
Body and legs: Tan Hare's Ear dubbing. Legs are picked out dubbing on bottom and trimmed even with hook point.
Shellback: Clear plastic bag or pearl mylar strip
Head: Thread

How about a couple of different versions
from the bench of Al Campbell. [url=http://www.flyanglersonline.com/flytying/fotw2/041502fotw.html:62855]http://www.flyanglersonline.com/flytying/fotw2/041502fotw.html[/url:62855]

Sorry Roger,

I just now keyed in on the word scud.*G*
Back to the drawing boards. Jim

dixie,

Jest or not, I bet you wish you had it in the safe now!

Good luck!

Hey Robert,

Here is a beadhead pattern. Use dubbing
of choice. Jim [url=http://www.flyanglersonline.com/flytying/fotw/1398fotw.html:988cd]http://www.flyanglersonline.com/flytying/fotw/1398fotw.html[/url:988cd]

MW,

You got that right .

Diane,

You know I believe you're right. Might not have been on the web at all. I think it was in the Jack Ellis book Sunfishes. I'll have to go check.

Thanks, Jim. But the pattern calls for Hare's Ear dubbing and I think I'll check the Sunfishes book.
