alhuger Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 i was wondering if any of you guys have had any luck with scud patterns on the bow? are shrimp in abundance or will the trout just ignore them? thanx I have caught with weighted scuds on the bow they are my substitute for not having czech nymphs. I am not sure if they are resident in the river or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brownstone Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 there are a population of freshwater shrimp in the Bow . not as abundant as mayflies caddis and such but defiantly a food source, all the ones Ive seen are light in color, tan to transparent.

Castuserraticus Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 In early May a few years ago I rolled rocks after having no success. There were hordes of olive scuds. I switched to an olive flashback GRHE and hit 6 fish in the next hour - one was my largest trout ever. It would seem sometimes they are the most abundant food.

robertrossi Posted November 17, 2008 Author Share Posted November 17, 2008 Found the little guy in my avatar while rolling rocks downstream of fishcreek. Thanks for the help guys i will definately try some scud patterns on my next outing as part of my triple rig! i just really want to experiment with some different patterns. its always neat to hook a few trout on some not so fished flies.
