Well, after YOU convinced me to do so, I experimented with scuds and other more realistic stuff. I definately caught fish on them, but I ended up catching a lot of smaller fish, including shiners out the wazoo! But as you know, I generally fish a more riverine environment. That may well make a difference. I also almost always did a dropper set up, because I couldn't shake the feeling I was missing strikes when I fished without a floating fly to serve as an indicator. I haven't yet tried a scud or midge on my new home lake (Jackson in central Ga.) I've been fishing the rivers above and below, but with my typical leggy patterns. I'm anxious to see where this thread goes. O sultan of scuds! *G*
