Scud a little help needed

[Vamp]

Phoned ID up about scud flies they had some in,went thro and bought 2 of each at 90p a shot six diff colours pic below.



Now are these the right ones as when i got back checked them out on the net there they look like this pic below from the net




i thought these flys above were check nymphs as i bought some from frazers at whitley about a week ago that look very much like them as i was told these were check nymphs pic below of ones i bought



any help would be great thx as im unsure if i have bought the right flys if not does any one know where i can get the ones every one is talking about..thx

Vamp, I think you will find the first pic to be the fly that nodrog introduced to this forum.
I did exactly the same as you and came up with scuds being shrimpish, anyway gordon sent me some freebies(very nice may I add) and they are the same as the first pic on your post.
Hope this helps, no doubt you will get the true answer shortly.

Thx Seddo for the reply,was just a bit odd as every time i checked a site out it was of the bottom pics.and didnt know if i had the right sort

scuds

Vamp, top pic is what gordon is calling his scud.
The bottom pic is a shrimp pattern known by the name of scud for a long, long time.

90p is a bit steep.

[mark]

that top un is definately no scud I've ever seen

have a look at the scud variants on patternindex

everyone I ever seen (and tied) has been a shrimp variant

as for 90p each

[Vamp]

Thx for the advice people
Asked around a few places for them and now one seem to now about them apart from ID so was only place to buy and the price,i was a little ,as i thought flys where around 60p each depending on what you were wanting that is.
But still looking forward to trying these out next week not sure where to go yet.
And thx for the site mark now i might find out what some of the flys are in my box.

scud

i also bought some of these top pattern scuds and i thought they were alot steep but will give them a try.

[sless]

well ive bought a load of them
90p isnt that expensive when you think of the £400 and over you pay for your rod and £300 you pay for your reel
why scrimp on what catches the fish

[jimmy]

a lot of flies for sale off a lad from consett on North East Fishing - North East Coarse Fishing, North East Game Fishing, North East Sea Angling, North East Fly Fishing, online fishing magazine#

i fished sharpley last friday slow at first then a netted a fish for a lad he,s pb 11lb.He gave me a fly nearly identical to that but cats whisker colours he had been hooking fish all morning as soon as i put it on the results wre instant 20mins later and i land my pb rainbow 12lb. absolute deadly fly had to be fished very very slowly on a floating line for best results

[sless]

here are some flies that "yours truly" tied
but using the tin head for weight

[seddo]

Very tastey patterns there sless.

[mick dunn]

4th one down looks good for our waters
the trout in north east cant resist olive
the good old dawsons olive produces time after time

scud

lads, the flie is my own tying and i had to come up with a name. i called it a super scud not knowing there was already a shrimp pattern with that name. sorry for the confusion. i have no control over the price at i.d but i had them at the nissan show for 50p. selt like hot cakes. some back ground for those that dont know. i invent new patterns which are tested by 10 top anglers in the north east. they try out the lures, buzzers and nymphs over the course of a year! we then eliminate the flies that catch the least. top fly this year was the scud, the year before, the burl ives, year before the dinky do. now i know you wont recognise the names apart from the scud,[ my fault]. by binning the flies with least success you increase your chance of catching after all our research. nice story from higham lake. a chap had 25 fish on one of my rainbow buzzers and a fellow angler had caught nothing.; what you catchin on mate, the lad told him and where he bought it from[i.d] he went into the shop ranting about how got the rai9nbow buzzer was but refused to pay the 90p even though his day ticket was 20 quid. he stormed off to the pub, had a lager 2pound 40 when he could have bought 2 buzzers. beer aparantly is better than a full day wasted!
