• Selected materials for enhanced durability and retention
• Careful finish for high attractivity
• Designed for both running water and stillwater fly fishing

Advantages and highlights

The LPP 2 Scuds stand out by their faithful silhouette and a palette of reflections that reproduces the translucency of a living crustacean. This visual accuracy increases confidence from wary fish, especially in clear water or during periods of low feeding activity. Their balance allows fishing near the bottom without pulling the fly out of the strike zone, while preserving a neutral action that provokes delicate takes.

The choice of resistant materials limits fiber wear after multiple captures, ensuring superior longevity. The ergonomic tying promotes correct penetration into the water column, increasing the contact window with lying fish. Result: more time in productive water, and therefore more strike opportunities.

Usage tips

To get the best from the Devaux Gammarus Scud LPP 2, favor a discreet approach with fine tippets and controlled drifts close to the substrate. When nymphing on a tight line or dead drift, limit the animation: a simple slow retrieve is enough to imitate a drifting scud. Use a fly line adapted to the fishing distance and adjust the weight of your leader to keep the fly in the correct water layer. In reservoirs, let it sink then retrieve slowly with short, regular strips, adding pauses to trigger strikes.

Testimonials

“From its first use, the LPP 2 proved remarkably effective on heavily fished beats. The drift is stable, fly retention is impeccable and often subtle takes are better turned into hookups. A versatile scud imitation I keep at the front of the box to face selective fish.”
