SICKNESS SCUD

DESCRIPTION

Scuds are an important food source for trout. They are tiny freshwater crustaceans, and though the silhouette does not change much between species, size and color can vary greatly. In other words: this is a great place to get creative with UV resins. Whether you want to add a hot spot (as demonstrated here) or try and match what you're finding in your local waters, you'll be able to use this basic pattern as a jumping off point.
