While to the untrained eye, the Pat's Rubber Legs (regionally also known as “The Pickle” or “Cat Poop”) look to the angler like little more than a pipe cleaner with legs, but to the trout it looks like a big juicy steak floating down the river! Used as a solid nymph imitation covering a host of stonefly species, the rubber legs flail and jump like those of a displaced nymph trying to get back down to the riverbed as the fly drifts downstream.
We wrap our Pat's Rubber Legs with lead to help get them deep and into the zone where the fish like to hold.
