Kisscud
Joe Kissane (Drag-Free Drift, 2001, Stackpole Books) sent along his favorite scud imitation, which like Theo Bakelaar’s scud is tied with ostrich herl. And, like Theo’s it is fast to tie. Joe weights the fly with a tungsten wire underbody, or if he wants an unweighted fly, he makes the underbody of monofilament. Thanks Joe.
Tie in a tail of lemon wood duck fibers or pheasant tail, or other fibers of the color needed, then tie in two ostrich herl filaments.
Add an underbody of tungsten wire or mono.
Wind the herl to the head, tie off, cut away excess.
Press the fibers down and around the hook and coat the top with Flex Seal, allow to dry.
