Pat's Rubber Legs

Key points

  • Impressionistic Profile. Uses rubber legs and fuzzy chenille to create a highly lifelike, wiggling profile in the water that mimics large crawling nymphs .
  • Fast-Water Sink Rate. Often heavily weighted with lead-free wire wraps to bounce along the rocky bottom of oxygenated runs where stoneflies live .
  • freestone Staple. Fished on a dead drift under an indicator or as a heavy dropper nymph on the Elk River and St. Mary River.
