Read from Fiddlesticks's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Udyr.

StageReadWhy
Level 1 ClearDanger — Avoid UdyrBlazing Stampede's stun-lock into awakened stance damage runs you down in a straight line. Blazing Stampede's stun plus Wingborne Storm shred wins any straight fight on top of that, so level 1 is a straight stat check Fiddlesticks loses — pre-position toward your tier-two side and dodge the first stun engage, and give the river vision-line respect.
Level 2 SkirmishDanger — Avoid UdyrUdyr out-classes you on the second camp — Blazing Stampede's stun plus Wingborne Storm shred wins any straight fight, and Blazing Stampede's stun-lock into awakened stance damage runs you down in a straight line. Refuse the level-2 skirmish, full-clear away from them, and trade map pressure instead of health.
Level 3 RouteDanger — Avoid UdyrDo not be seen at the opening scuttle: Blazing Stampede's stun-lock into awakened stance damage runs you down in a straight line. On top of that, four stance points are online and their awakened trades hit their hardest window, so they get there first. Pre-position toward your tier-two side and dodge the first stun engage. Give up the level-3 river fight and farm the opposite quadrant until your spike lands.
Levels 4-5 MacroRespect Udyr — Path OppositeYou lose the 4-5 duel. He farms 4-5 at speed and takes any fight near a wall, since Blazing Stampede needs only a straight line — so let them have that half of the map and cash the other half faster.
Level 6 BreakpointEven Ult WindowAwakened stance rotations on four points hit harder than most actual ultimates, and Crowstorm answers it almost exactly. Decide this one on setup — vision, numbers and cooldowns — not on the ultimate comparison.
First Item SpikeZhonya's / Liandry'sYour first item arms the post-R survival plan: storm in, fear the cluster, and hourglass through the panic while the crows finish. Drag fights toward fog where your channel hides. Udyr's tempo game stops mattering when one flank ult equals four kills. Udyr's first item is where the awakened stance rotations stop being a heavy trade and start being a kill.
2+ Items ScalingFiddlesticks Favoured at Full BuildTwo items on, the edge is yours. The one thing to plan around is that he is an awakened-stance brawler with sustain, damage and a stun on a short timer — take that away and the fight is a formality.

How to beat Udyr as Fiddlesticks: the first clear and pathing

Start with W on whichever buff your lanes leash and plant an effigy at the river entrance first. Track Udyr's start side and seed your defensive effigies on their likeliest invade path before minute two. Udyr clears extremely fast with stance swaps and shields himself through it, so he is rarely below full health.
