Scuds in AZ lakes?

[Drake Side of The Moon]

I did a search of the forum and it seems the majority of scud discussion is focused on lees ferry.
Also, found this link for Mr. Chan http://www.chironomid.com/articles/scuds.html (excellent).

However, anyone regulary have some scuds in there boxes for stillwaters?

White mountain guys? Rim rangers? Discuss..ty

I'm gona take another look at the books. Maybe search 'az scuds' in google ... be on later today.

Carnero has some nice big purple scuds.

Tie, 14, 16,18 and 20s Olive, Black and Red.

Lakes, Sunrise, Crescent and sometimes Becker and most Mtn lakes have them.

Cool. Just wondering why they very mention them in the Will Jordan and the other book. Maybe not enough #'s of them. Seems like a good pattern if the fish are feeding on the bottom depths and you can't coax them up.

''Hi guys,
Looked at the data. We are very happy with where the fish are right now. 25% over 18 inches long. These 18 to 20 inch fish were at 9 inches two years ago at this time.
Looked at some historical food habits on Becker. Looked like these fish are eating midge larvae until the damselfly hatch this summer. Later in the summer they eat snails and damsels. Gammuras are also taken fairly consistently throughout the spring and summer. ''

Look at the mountain report on this cite. Flashback has made a book documenting his daily interventions with the trout in Becker. He has several that are his pets and he calls them by name so they will come and play tug-o-war with him.

Yep, I searched and found that thread too.

Went thru all x125 threads with the word scud so Im well read as I'll ever be... plus that Chan link was excellent.

Kelley Meyer says becker is the most studied lake in the west haha I belive it now
Just gona have to play around and turn over some rocks and weed beds next trip to document my own research

That mountain report is about as long as Homer's Odessy lol

[freddieflyfish]

This is a good thread lets keep it going!!!! I would like to learn more.

took my daughter to Big Lake when she was 6. The boat had a live well that would fill with water several inches. To my suprise there was a bunch of @ size 12olive Scuds swimming in the live well. I have since started fishing with them more. Usually an olive Hares ear works just fine. Your mileage may vary.
