In this week’s episode of Tying Tuesdays, watch as Brady ties the UV Yum Yum! "Admit it, even you think this is one juicy-looking bug. For some reason, I always think of Scud patterns as confidence patterns due to their thick larva-like shape. What fish could resist? The UV Yum Yum is a perfect example of this as the Chewy Skin material not only adds a nice attractant but also creates a gummy-like feel to this fly that makes it super buggy! This pattern can be tied in various colors and sizes from Olive, Pink, or the commercially tied “Smokey”. For me, Scuds are a great attractor when fishing small midges and mayfly nymphs. It works great under an indicator in a multi-fly rig and can also be utilized in a tightline euro setup. This chunky bug will produce!"
