Rubber legs, dubbing body, a touch of flash, and tungsten… Does anything else need to be said?? In all seriousness, this fly was designed to resemble a clump of blood worms floating. Additionally, this fly can pass as a scud because of the blended ice dub and Hare’s ear dubbing. Combined, this pattern simply resembles something a fish wants to eat and it is small enough that it will entice weary bites when larger flies and jigs don’t do the trick!
This pattern is quite similar to the classic San Juan, but subs in a cluster of rubber legs for extra movement, and adds some ice dub for added visibility.
- Hook: #16-14 nymph or curved scud
- Thread: 8/0 UNI
- Bead: 2.4mm tungsten bead
- Tail/head: 3 mini Centipede rubber legs tied in a clump.
- Body: Hare’s ear and Ice dub blend (equal parts)
