How to Fish: Scud or Shrimp Fly Fishing Strategies | GoFishBC

Learn how to catch trout in this beginners’ guide to fishing. Shrimp and scuds are popular food sources for trout and other fish in British Columbia’s freshwater lakes. TV personality and fishing icon, Brian Chan, covers the lifecycle of the caddisfly and fishing strategies for targeting trout feeding on the shrimp and scuds.

Brian shows some examples of shrimp and scud patterns, the optimal gear set-up, and retrieval techniques. The angler’s goal is to imitate the behaviour of shrimp and scuds so that trout will snap up the tackle. The largest trout in B.C. are usually found in lakes with large populations of shrimp, so shrimp patterns are an essential part of an angler’s tackle box.
