12-Pack Bead-Head Scud

Bead Head Scud – Olive or Gray – Sizes 12 to 16

When trout are keying in on natural food in lakes or slow-moving rivers, scuds are often the secret weapon. These bead head scuds are tied to imitate freshwater shrimp – a staple in many stillwater ecosystems. The added bead gets the fly down quickly and gives it just enough weight to bounce naturally along the bottom or hang suspended under an indicator.

Whether you’re targeting picky rainbows in a reservoir or wild browns in a spring-fed pond, this pattern works all year long, especially in cooler water when scuds are most active.

Key Features:

• Realistic scud imitation in olive or gray – two of the most common natural colors

• Tied with a tungsten or brass bead to help the fly sink and stay in the feeding zone

• Deadly under an indicator or slow-retrieved on a floating/intermediate line

• Sizes 12, 14, and 16 available – match the hatch perfectly

• Excellent choice for stillwater, spring creeks, and tailwaters

• Proven pattern for picky or pressured trout

Toss one of these into the mix when the bite gets tough – it might just turn your day around.
