Grubs is a generic term often applied by fly fishers to describe the lava of terrestrial insects such as beetles, moths and butter flies, grass hoppers and crickets. They often find themselves unwittingly in the water and on the trout’s menu.

"Willow grubs" as they have become known, are often blown off the tree by the wind or simply fall off often finding themselves on the surface of the water where they are gorged on trout generally at the exclusion of all other passing tucker.{{end}}
{{+1}}Scud{{-1}}
{{start}}
I use this fly to represent not only Scuds but also Olive Caddis Pupa which are of course a completely different types of creature. Scuds are true crustaceans of the family Isopod or Amphipods and generally you find them in shallow water in the detritus matter and around weed beds and drowned vegetation.{{end}}
{{+1}}Foetal caddis grub{{-1}}

My preferred colours are light brown, light olive and hares ear each with slightly darker thoraxes and sand with a touch of orange or pink. All are tied with olive backs and heavily weighted so that they get down to where the fish are sitting.{{end}}
{{+1}}Caddis grubs{{-1}}
{{start}}
Most caddis grubs make a retreat of silk with sand or detritus matter stuck to the outside. Similar in form this fly represents a caddis grub that has been dislodged from it retreat. Colors include cream, lime, fawn, and light browns and olives through to dark browns and olives.{{end}}
