As the winter progresses the scuds grow to full size so a woreworm can be made on a bigger hook. size 8 or 6.

This is a pigeon lake scud. Hyalella azteca. 3 to 8 mm (1/16" to 5/16") when grown. Imitate it.

Good info ..... I've seen somewhat similar scuds in Sylvan Whites after my autopsy, some were still twitching.
