Pat's Rubber Leg

Pat's Rubber Leg is one of the most productive stonefly nymph imitations ever developed for western rivers. The rubber legs pulse and kick with every current variation, creating lifelike movement that trout find irresistible. Heavy enough to get down fast into the strike zone, it's a go-to pattern for dead-drifting through deep runs, pockets, and riffles wherever stoneflies are present.
