Same!I feel like scuds were all the rage when I was fishing in the 90s. I rarely if ever hear them mentioned anymore.
I used to do a lot of shore based fishing and shallow wading in Wyoming lakes because it wasn’t safe to fish out of a tube in steady 30+ winds. I would have to scrape the scuds off my waders and boots every time.I remember the first time I fished some lakes around Kamloops.
After the first day of fishing I stepped out of the boat into the water. Once on shore, I noticed my boots were covered with scuds. That was pretty eye opening for a novice fly angler like myself back then.
