I'm impressed by those discrimminating fish. I know I couldn't determine the difference in the protein content between brooding and non-brooding scuds.

One of the tricks employed by stillwater anglers around my area is to tie a
Brooding Scud. It is simply tied as any other scud pattern on a straight
shank hook in olive green, tan or gray the only difference being the
addition of a section of hot orange dubbing in the middle of the body.
This supposedly imitates the egg sac of a brooding scud, and fish will
target
this stage because of the additional protein content available. FWIW.
