"Small Batch Flies" | Hand-Tied Flies, Unmatched Quality
Lato’s Gray Scud
When the fishing gets slow and you can’t really tell what the fish are eating, this is when you want to tie on a gray scud. Says pattern author Dan Lato, “A lot of days when the fishing is tough, a gray scud saves the day.”
The base of this fly is tied with scud back, wire, and diamond-hard Solarez UV resin. But what makes this scud stand out is the SLF sow bug gray dubbing, which has an irresistible sparkle.
Available in 3 packs and in sizes 16 (2.5mm black nickel tungsten bead) or size 14 (3.0mm black nickel tungsten bead)
Kyle Ludwig was introduced into the fly fishing world back in 2018 when his cousin Dan Lato let him borrow his 4wt and a box of flies for a summer. After the first trip out, he was hooked. Later that fall Dan invited him on a trip to the Current River and that’s where Kyle was introduced to tying flies.
Thousands of flies and two years later, Ludwig Outdoors was born. Kyle mostly ties and offers flies for trout, bass and panfish. His goal is to provide the highest quality and most durable flies to customers, and for his customers to have great confidence when they tie on one of his flies. He loves that he can provide something so small, but yet put such a big smile on someone’s face when they net that fish of a lifetime. He hopes to one day expand the business to help future generations appreciate our beautiful lakes, rivers, and streams.
Ludwig Outdoors has a simple mission: “To encourage, educate, and inspire future generations to explore and protect the natural world.”
