Scuds and sowbugs are present in spring creeks and tailwaters with ample vegetation.  Fishing these as a lead fly during winter is a good option if you’re fishing the aforementioned river types.  The further scuds get down from the tailwater outflow, the more brightly colored they become.  As they die, they become brightly colored or as they ingest parasites, both of which happens the longer they are alive.  Fish hot spot patterns and regular patterns until you find the option that works best for the day.
