Kimo ... you know I think you're scuds are the best, period ... but I have a question.

 

On some, like the one above, the "legs" are very thick. (Not diameter ... bunches)

Do you ever realize a hook-set miss ... and blame the legs for blocking the hook point?

Haven't had a problem with that yet.

The "legs" are very dense but they also taper at the end.

Also they "part" rather nicely while in the water.

 

Thanks for the compliment.

Tied without glasses and a severe CTS flare up. Carpal tunnel syndrome. Wrist is swellellef double normal and fused feeling during tie. Was fuzzy because lost 2 glasses for doing small flies. Probably my worst fly but achievement under circumstances

if that were in my box it would see water the next time I had a chance at trout.

Holy Moly !!!

I won't bother tying flies if I've got a band-aid on a "needed" finger.

Tying flies under your list of conditions? Just say no!
