Product information "Fulling Mill Balanced Scud Rocket Tan 3.0 #14"

Perfect balance for stillwaters - modern stillwater fishing is all about the right presentation - and this is where the Fulling Mill Balanced Scud Rocket Tan really comes into its own. Developed by Curtis Fry (Fly Fish Food) and specially adapted to Howard Croston's drop back bung system, this fly is a real secret weapon for indicator fishing.

A scud or'gammarus' is an aquatic crustacean. They are easily recognisable by their two pairs of antennae, articulated legs and clearly visible segments along the abdomen. These freshwater amphipods are found in many lakes and rivers with rich aquatic vegetation, where they are a main food source for trout, grayling and other fish species. That's why they are an indispensable pattern in every fly box!

The combination of balance, movement and natural colouring makes this fly ideal for targeting trout and other predators in tricky waters. The barbless design is gentle on the fish and ensures a safe, gentle landing.
