Fly Tying: Diamond Dub Scud

This is a fly I have been working on for a while now. I have had the pattern almost ironed out for over a year now, but I have been searching for a dubbing that really compliments the fly. I had been resorting to blending dubbings together but the flies were still missing something. I tied one with the diamond dub, and went out to test it. The fish loved it, so I tried it an various other colors as well. The 4 colors that have treated me the best are the 4 at the beginning of the video, all of them are tied exactly the same, except I change the color of the dubbing.
Materials I used in the video:
Hook: Dai-Riki scud hook (#14)
Thread: Daville flymaster plus 70 Denier Brown
Lead: .015 lead wire
Antenna: Partridge feather
Dubbing: Arizona Diamond Dub Hare's Ear (The other three are: Dark Hare's Ear, Tan, Oak)
Back: Mottled Thin Skin Oak
Segmentation: UTC Amber Small Wire
Resin: Loon Thick and Thin UV Resin

Absolutely love the fly. Nothing made me happier than when you started the fly though. I thought I was the only one who made the tag end of the thread as short as possible as to not waste.

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it. I'm not going to lie I love seeing a fish take a dry fly, but I won't hesitate to fish whatever is going to catch fish which usually leads to nymphing. I grew up doing a lot of Nymph and subsurface fishing so you will probably notice that most of my more original patterns are subsurface. If you end up tying some I'd be interested in knowing where else this fly works.

I will get some of that dubbing as it is a bit different from the antron I use. I have had success with sow bugs, anywhere there is vegetation in the streams. The best was probably in the Little Red River, in Arkansas. It is loaded with water cress.

I've thought about tying up a sow bug variation of this fly, that's something I'll definitely have to work on. That's awesome to hear about places to fish in your neck of the woods, admittedly I haven't done much fishing outside of the Rockies. Let me know how it goes after you pick up the dubbing, I'd love to hear about it.

hi Calgary AB. Canada here, I just tied 12 of your scuds . Excellent pattern. We have government stocked man made ponds and reservoirs in my area and small creeks supply hundreds of shrimp(fresh water scuds) and your pattern matches them perfectly . On your fly you used a size 14 hook, it was too small so I used #12 's for the rest. Thanks again.

I have been using a similar fly for many years and use various mixes of "angelina fibres" for my dub. The colour that works best for me is a lemon yellow colour. Why it works I have no idea but I have consistently caught brown trout to more than 5lbs. It works also in the sea for sea run brown trout. I have been using 5lb mono for my ribbing but I think I will tie it with a bronze coloured wire like yours. Thank you for showing your pattern.

I live in Shetland (a group of islands in the very north of the Uk). The streams are extremely small so we catch most of our sea trout in the narrow estuaries in both the Atlantic and the North Sea. I have tied these scuds in olive, brown pink, orange and yellow. I tie them on a Kamasan b175 and build up an underbody of lead wire using ever decreasing lengths until a hump shape is formed. The back is formed with tan flexibly and I usually mark it with a black felt marker before coating it with uv resin. The shrimp swims upside down which means fewer snags. I have watched shrimps swim upside down so it works very well tied in this manner. It catches well in clear alkaline lakes particularly in the shallows. I haven't tried it in rivers yet because we don't have any! Thanks for your excellent video. Tight lines! Mike

Nice work Skyler. If you want to add a bit more realism to the curve, you know that humped area about 2/3 of the way back from the hook eye... Here is a technique I use to obtain that look. Invert the hook in the vise and place the “apex” of the hump at the lowest point (you’ll essentially lift the hook eye from a level point), now flip your jaws 180 degrees, apply the resin and then immediately flip the jaws 180 to the top of the fly is again facing down. Cure the resin when it starts to bulge at the low point. I also use this inverted technique when I want to ensure the resin doesn’t slump down the sides of the fly (especially with smaller patterns) and to ensure a thicker back.

Very nice Skyler! Fly tying season here in Canada (3 feet of ice on the lakes :-( ) so I am at the bench, I'll tie up a couple of these this morning. QUESTION: It seems that everybody ties scuds in the curled up position, do you tie "swimming" scuds? I tie most of my scuds on a Partridge Patriot Czech Nymph Fine CZF hook that has a less pronounced bend and fish them with short (3-6 inch) gentle/slow strips with small pauses between strips. The takes are deliberate and the fish hook themselves most of the time. Cheers, Hank

Hi Hank! I honestly think that makes more sense to me. I have always tied them on curved shank hooks because that's how I learned so that's how I do it. I'll have to give that a try sometime, I'm often fishing these in moving water under and indicator but sometimes I fish them on still water so I'll have to get around to trying that sometime.

I have found that UV resins don't adhere to other plastics that well and often delaminate. To avoid this problem I will let it leak over the edge of the plastic covering material to give The UV resin a more secure anchor point to prevent the potential delaminating.
@skylerhardman1227
@skylerhardman1227 6 жыл бұрын
I completely agree that with certain materials it is a good idea to anchor the resin by going over the edge, I do this whenever I use scud back in particular. I've experimented with the thin skin on this pattern and I don't know if it's because of the wire segments, the curved shape of the body, or that I let it soak into the thread at the front, but I've never had a problem with the resin peeling off (not to say it couldn't happen.) I usually fish these in rivers right on the bottom and often snag rocks and the resin holds. I try to keep the resin on top because it gives a great profile that the fish really seem to like, but if it ever starts failing I'll keep your suggestion in mind, I agree that durability is one of the most important aspects of a fly. Thanks for sharing!

reubenr 1 I've never fished it off a dry though I see no reason you couldn't. Often the fish I'm targeting are near the bottom so I'm using this behind something big and heavy like a weighted pats rubber leg. When fish are being really active I'll sometimes swing this at the end of a drift to get them to chase it but dead drifting has been the best so far. I have also gone shallow behind an indicator off of a shelf into the head of a deep pool and fish came for it only a couple feet down. That would probably be a great time to put it behind a dry.

which side of the line is the tag side in the intro clip 🤔
@skylerhardman1227
@skylerhardman1227 5 жыл бұрын
That's a great question Sloan. I always fish two nymphs and there was a large stonefly on the line as well. When the fish got in my net it quickly twisted up the line and since I try to return the fish to the water as quickly as possible I didn't take the time to untangle the line before shooting the video clip. I shot the video, released the fish and then untangled the line after the fish swam away. But to answer your question, neither one of the lines is the tag, the tag is cut very short next to the knot, the one over the head of the fish is the line from the scud and the other line is what got tangled up when it twisted. I wondered if someone was ever going to ask me that! haha

You might be able to get away with various different sow/scud dubbings. I used to use a Wapsi sow/scud dubbing that had really short fibers and that's what I used to tie this with but I haven't been able to find that particular dubbing in years. Just make sure the fibers are somewhat short, lots of the scud dubbings today have longer fibers than I like and would make the legs more difficult to create. Ice dub would probably work though I haven't tried it. Hope that helped!

I've never fished scuds. Any tips on how to fish them in a spring creek? There is a spring creek near me that has big cutties and just recently learned they feed on alot of scuds

The fish in this video are in a spring creek and I usually just fish them below an indicator along with another nymph. This creek flows quickly however. In a slower creek I would probably drop them off of something that looks natural, like a hopper pattern. If the fish aren't too spooky don't be afraid to give tiny tugs on the line to animate the scud.

Where are you finding 0.10 lead wire? I've been looking for awhile but the smallest I've been able to find is 0.15

@skylerhardman1227 6 жыл бұрын
Yep that was definitely a typo, sorry about that, thanks for catching it for me I'll need to change it. I did use .015 lead wire, but if you want to tie these smaller and need .010 lead wire Hareline makes some. I looked around and found some on Ebay I'll put a link to you so you know what it looks like. www.ebay.com/itm/Lead-Wire-Soft-Round-Spool-010-Fly-Tying-/201399806535

Skyler Hardman Thanks for the link. I've been looking for the 0.10 lead for some smaller flies. I had been using sticky-back lead sheets that I cut into thin strips but think the 0.10 wire will be faster and easier. Great looking tie. I'll be tying some of these. I've liked and subscribed. Looking forward to your other ties

Thanks a bunch I'll keep trying to put out good stuff. I guess it's a good thing I wrote down the wrong size haha. I'm glad I was able to help. I used to use lead tape as well but I think it's easier to prevent the wire from slipping around the shank, I think you're right that you'll find it easier as well. Thanks again and good luck on the river, I hope these scuds treat you well!

Super vidéo. Avis à la communauté française qui lira ce commentaire, où trouver du dubbing pour les gamarres (scud dub) équivalent à ceux que l'on trouve aux US (genre Arizona diamond dub ; hareline rainbow scud dub) avec un aspect comme dans cette vidéo ? J'ai bien cherché, j'ai rien trouvé de convaincant. Si quelqu'un a une idée?

Chris Remster Thank you. I used to blend ice dub with rabbit and other things and it works and will catch fish but I quickly switched to Diamond dub after trying it. But play with what you've got, you'll probably come up with something better!

Skyler Hardman I started tying a lot within the last year so watching videos like yours really helps with picking up new things. I've even designed a couple of my own custom flies that have caught me some awesome fish. Keep coming out with awesome content. One fly I don't see anyone tie is the rubber leg copper john. Its a fairly useful pattern when you want to fish bottom without worry about losing one or a few. Tightlines man and keep the videos coming!

Thanks a bunch Chris, I'll do my best to keep putting out a new video every week. I almost enjoy tying more than I do fishing and it makes me happy to hear your catching fish on your own patterns. There are two fish I'll never forget, the first fish I caught on a fly rod, and the first fish I caught on my own fly. Creating your own really elevates the sport to the next level in my opinion. Good luck with your flies and fishing, and again, thank you.

Hello Skyler, does your fly ride upright or upside-down?
@skylerhardman1227
@skylerhardman1227 6 жыл бұрын
I only fish this on freestone streams and tailwaters so most of the time it is flipping over in the current but from my observations it typically rides upright. I'm sure by playing with the lead wire you could change that.

Well I'll be the first to admit that I'm not perfect, you can ask my friends I make a lot of mistakes, but I'm trying my best to share what I do. As to the "Nothing about the silk you mis-tied" I don't really know what you want me to say here, do you mean my thread at the bend of the hook is showing? If so I could probably take a little more care to make it cleaner, but the fish's opinion is the only one I really care about and they don't seem to mind, haha.
