How to Tie the Pregnant Glass Scud Fly Pattern - Pacific Angler Fly Tying

In this how to fly tying video we tie a scud or lake shrimp pattern with UV resin. This is a great easy pattern for early season when indicator fishing or casting over weed beds. #scudpattern #lakefly #bclakefishing The Pregnant Glass Scud is a must have for your fly boxes when fishing the interior lake. You can tie this pattern with our without the bead but you will want to have a selection of both in your box. I tie these with a fairly light bead and I fish them on a full sinking line. This combination allows me to fish a shorter leader which gives me more control over where my fly is in the water column. You can tie this pattern with a brass or tungsten bead and a floating line as well for really shallow waters. Make sure to have these tied up in a couple shades of olive with and without beads.
