Slow Mo Scuds

If you fly fish for trout pretty much anywhere in Missouri, you probably know about scuds and that trout eat them like they're candy.  What you might not know is that scuds are actually freshwater shrimp-like creatures that can usually be found under rocks.  What I personally had no idea about was what they look like in their natural environment when they are free of predation.  This is a really good insight into what scuds look like and how they behave because to better understand trout, we need to understand their food sources.  Fly tyers, here's what you are trying to imitate!
