#14 Rusty Ice Dub Scud

Materials:

#14 Umpqua U202 Scud/Pupa hook, 1x short, 1x strong, or equivelant
Ice Dub, rusty brown
Yellow Ultra 140 thread
Small Copper Ultra Wire
1/8" Clear Scud back

Place hook securely in vice and lay down a base of thread deep into the curve of the hook. Double back to about point level.

Image

Tie in the copper wire all the way back, and return thread back to above hook point.

Image

Tie in scud back all the way back, and keep thread down along the vise.

Image

Add ice dubbin to thread and wrap up to about 1 hook eye width behind the hook eye. Do several wraps of bare thread and tie off.

Image

Fold scud back over the dubbin and tie off behind hook eye. Trim off excess scud backing.

Image

Do 5 even wraps of the copper wire up to the head, and do three or four more around the base of thread. Trim off excess copper wire.

Image

Do several wraps of thread around the head and whip stitch finish before cutting thread. Apply a bead of superglue over the thread.

Image

using a pick or dubbin brush, pull out some of the dubbin on the bottom to make it appear really "buggy." This concluded the tying of the #14 rusty ice dub scud

Steve,

Are you using this pattern for panfish?

Thanks guys, and Jeremy...I have found that bluegills and crappie, as well as trout, love this. I have a very public pond near me, and I've found that when a worm on a hook isn't working for the locals, this will catch the 'gills.

Hmmm, maybe it's time to pick up one of those assortment boxes? Be nice to have a variety just for trying out new patterns.

My issue with the boxes of dubbing is there isn't enough of each color in the box, and probably half the colors I won't use.

That's kind of why I hadn't gotten an assortment before...I'll think on it some more.

When I first started tying I bought the asst box for dry files. I've used every color in the box for some sort of fly. I've also experimented with combining color combinations for nymph bodies and found some killer combo's that work. As has been said many times, think outside the box. :lol Tying something weird and creative, you'd be surprised what you catch on wacky looking flies.

You can always refill these boxes, so if you run out of a particular color, you can just buy a packet. I don't tie huge nymphs, so each color would last for at least a hundred of flies (I'm just guessing here as I haven't used up any yet). I'm not particularly advocating it, either. I happened to have purchased a few boxes for different purposes (Super Fine, Ice Dub, Hare's Ear, etc) a couple of years ago and found them useful. I also have many packets of dubbing I did not find in these boxes.

If you are sure you would only use a few or colors mostly not in these boxes, then this may be a waste.

I've found that it is just one of those flies that...well....work. I think any fish would be happy to eat it. Another good thing about it is that it is TOUGH. We all know those dainty flies that we make, cast out, one fish, and it is destroyed. Not this one. :) If your tippet survives, cast it again.
