While duct tape may be the handyman’s secret weapon. The Orange Scud is definitely the trout fisherman’s secret weapon.
While a trout will not walk across the street for an armload of English Setter hair, it is an established fact that a trout will eat every
bit of Golden Retriever fur it can get it’s hands on. With this in mind, in tying this killer pattern our family uses the fur from all
the families Golden Retrievers past and present. Fur saved from Chief, Ruff, Red, Buck, Copper and Rip are all blended together
to tie this pattern. It is tied on #12 scud hook using a gold bead and .020 thousand thick wire. It is heavy and sinks like a toolbox.
Family and friends refer to this killer pattern as the family scud and after cautioning misuse and over harvesting I do give some
away as dubbing.
